You want simple muesli muffins? I’ve GOT simple muesli muffins!
For some reason, I’ve found myself drowning in boxes of muesli. Muesli I don’t remember buying, because it’s untoasted, and I’m frightened of untoasted muesli.
After a while, I was sick of the boxes taking up space in my pantry and I decided to once and for all do SOMETHING WITH THEM FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY.
Clever people would toast their muesli, with some butter and maple syrup and a little extra cinnamon. I thought of it, really I did, but then I decided to pop them in muffin form and solve the problem of what should I do with all this muesli and what should I feed the children for morning tea.
They appear reasonably lunchbox-friendly too, if you buy the nut-free muesli. If not – well, they go excellently with a hot cup of tea. Or freeze them!
You’re welcome.

Unless it’s soaked for while to make Bircher Muesli raw oats are definitely scary.
Veggie Mama says
I can’t even do bircher muesli – too soft, too cold. Toasted all the way!

I am afraid of many healthy foods. Tofu, quinoa, cous cous… Untoasted muesli is not one. I feel so brave.
Veggie Mama says
but it’s so soggy! and tasteless! Just like tofu, quinoa, and cous cous, funnily enough…
Lauren @ the-thud.com says
You’re not wrong. But with the right amount of sultanas and dried apricots, I can handle it. Pretty brave actually.

This looks delicious! Definitely a good lunchbox filler. Might try these and see if mister fussy will eat them! Hope your baby’s first day of kinder went as well as my baby’s. He loved it and cannot wait to go back. 🙂
Veggie Mama says
Oh she had a ball! The youngest one cried – she wanted to stay and paint 🙂

Looks good! I love making Anzac Biscuits with muesli.
Veggie Mama says
heathen! I can’t deviate from the traditional recipe. I just can’t.
FromTheTableTop says
yum, these might need to go on the baking list.
Veggie Mama says
Go for it!
Shari says
I was just thinking where did all this muesli in my cupboard come from?
Veggie Mama says
It’s so weird! I swear I never buy any!
