Chocolate in muesli??? What is even happening right now?! We’re celebrating Friday the right way with Homemade Chocolate Raspberry Muesli!
Confession: I’ve been obsessed with muesli lately. It’s so light and creamy, perfect for summer! If you’ve never had muesli, it’s the original cereal. Very similar to oatmeal, but not as mushy.
Personally, I LOVE oatmeal in the winter….but it’s a little warm for that nonsense right now. My fave way to do muesli is to let it soak in cold almond milk for about 10 minutes, then add lots of toppings! 🙂
My first time to have muesli was actually pretty recently at the Pinch Of Yum workshop! We had this amazing Seven Sundays Muesli to practice taking photos of and of course taste test, and it was an instant love!
So good. Side note: If you’re a food blogger, you MUST check out Food Blogger Pro and the workshop! It’s life changing. 😉 And if you’re not a food blogger (or also if you are), you must try out this delicious Homemade Chocolate Raspberry Muesli recipe….because it’s also life changing!
Here’s the deal with this muesli: It’s almost too good and too easy not to make.
Want to talk about the easiest and quickest breakfast ever made? Ok, maybe besides the Oatmeal Cookie Overnight Oats, which is right up there with this homemade muesli.
You can make a massive batch of this stuff in about 10 minutes, throw it all in a freezer bag, and have it in your pantry or fridge for a couple of weeks. Easy and delicious Homemade Chocolate Raspberry Muesli cereal in 3…2…1.
Is Homemade Muesli Healthy?
Homemade muesli is extremely healthy and is a great way to start the day. You can pick and choose what you put in it meaning there no nasty preservatives or artificial ingredients, you know exactly what you’re eating.
You can pack the muesli full of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and berries so there’s the opportunity to pack a lot of vitamins and antioxidants in there. Also, try adding different spices such as cinnamon for a festive feel!
Pour a little bit of milk over it, let it soak, and add your fave toppings. Done. Healthy breakfasts shouldn’t be complicated! Oh and…CHOCOLATE. I mean, C’mon! Creamy, wholesome oats, crunchy pistachios, sweet raspberries, and heavenly dark chocolate. YAAAAS!

Oh my goodness! I love muesli and didn’t even know it! I knew oatmeal was going to help boost my breast milk supply, but I can’t stand the texture and I’ve been eating it uncooked with milk for a long while now! Thanks for sharing this!

This sounds like a great addition to my oats recipe. I recently found out that oats are high in iron (which I desperately need to bring up, but the pills kill my stomach).
Thank you for posting this.

Perfect! That’s so awesome, glad it’s helpful! Of course, friend 🙂
