I am muesli-neutral. I hope to learn much from this thread.

It's bircher, I'm soaking it. Be patient.

Not to be confused with mucilage.

Are you responsible enough for muesli?

"Not to be confused with mucilage." I'm learning already!

My doppelganger robbed me from posting about muesli!

[I nominate that for weirdest internet sentence of the day].

I will now post the muesli.

[I nominate that for weirdest internet sentence of the day]

I snorted. I did not have a mouthful of icy cold and delicious beer, having just swallowed same, so you don't owe me anything, but you came pretty damn close, missy.

pretty. damn. close.

Whew. I was gonna say you could just add it to my tab.

I bet squirting muesli out your nose would hurt.

There's a grain-company in Sweden (for lack of a better word - what do you call 'em?) that has a mix your own müsli site as a clever way to sell more grains. You add the things you like, and they mail it to you in a nice (optional) steel can with their awesome looking ancient packaging design on it. http://www.minmusli.nu/ (means "my musli now" in Swedish). Clever ploy to make people pay that much extra for grains.

I mix my own, and honey-bake my own crunchy musli thanks very much, and now I'm so turned off by that ploy I'll stop buying that brand (even though I looove the packaging). Someone seriously called it "Müsli 2.0" Aaargghh!

oh who am I kidding, I'll keep buying that brand, the packaging is ossom, the company is family owned and the grains are ecological. I just think the mix your own site is a rip-off. (I just tried a mix which ended up being 300 grams of stuff I like in my musli for 48 SEK. I can mix my own with the same for 15 SEK.)

Roast your own;

Preheat oven to 350F (175 C)

Get stuff like this;
rolled oats
wheat bran
flax seeds
cornflakes for crunch (this is for the beginners müsli, I now skip cornflakes but my müsli is of the heavier sort where two spoons can keep you going all day)

Stir in a bowl while pouring runny honey over it generously so that the honey gets everywhere. I experiment with a dash of cinnamon and that's pretty tasty too, also I've tried all sorts of grains.

Spread it out flat in a pan in the oven and roast for ten minutes (watch it so it doesn't burn! It can burn easily.) Once roasted you now have roung 'bits&bites' which you should keep in an airtight contaimner - also add chopped up dried fruits, my favorites are apple and mango or dried berries like blueberry and lingon (tart!).

Hah! I take müsli seriously!

Anyone remember that super annoying ad mid-nineties in the states where some dudes "Swedish girlfriend" had bought him [insert brand name here] Müsli mix and he tried it because he thought her way of saying Müsli "was so cute"? I got news for you, she did not say it in a way even remotely sounding like a Swedish accent and I shunned that brand for years because of the Swedish girlfriend. DO NOT INSULT MüSLI LOVING SWEDISH GIRLS! It's a Swiss-German word anyway!

Hell, you are a müsli goddess.

Muesli is the new Cilantro.

But then what's cilantro muesli?

oh gaaawd no! You just made me imagine what that would taste like. I'm going to have cilantro müsli nightmares now. I'm a scared müsi lover... shivering in a corner with my bag of oats clutched tight, pelase do not come here with that cilantro.

So...do you really have to bake the musli mix? I ask because the one I ate at the airport didn't really taste like it had been baked. It was chewy, like raw oats. And it was defniitely soaked in milk - which I want to keep as a method because of the calcium.
