Ingredients
- 2 cups whole grain rolled oats
- 3 tbsp almond butter (100% natural and without sugars)
- 7 oz apple mousse (100% natural without sugars)
- 2.1 oz whole peeled hazelnuts
- 0.7 oz blanched almonds
- ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 1 oz dried cranberries
Tools
- Chopper
Steps
Coarsely chop the almonds and hazelnuts; do this with pulses so you can control the consistency. Pour the nuts into a large bowl.
Add the rolled oats and briefly mix.
In a small bowl or cup, pour the apple mousse, almond butter, cinnamon, and mix.
Add the obtained cream to the dry ingredients.
Mix well and pour everything into a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 302°F fan-assisted or 320°F for 30-35 minutes. The low temperature will ensure the muesli becomes golden without darkening.
Out of the oven, wait for it to cool and add the dried cranberries. Store in a glass jar.
Tips:
Store in an airtight jar, preferably glass, and it stays crunchy for up to 2 weeks.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use homemade apple puree?
Yes, as long as it is smooth and without added sugars. If it is more watery compared to the packaged one, cook for 5 more minutes to let it dry.
Can I substitute the almond butter?
Yes, with 100% hazelnut or cashew butter. Avoid protein or sweetened spreads because they change the texture and burn more easily.
Can I add chocolate chips?
Sure, but only when it is completely cool.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes, if you use certified gluten-free oats.
