Muesli with added dried fruits

why we are using rolled oats ?

 

      • Nutritional Value: Oats are packed with fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy base for muesli.
      • Texture: Rolled oats provide a satisfying chewiness and texture to the muesli, preventing it from becoming overly mushy.
      • Versatility: Oats can be enjoyed hot or cold, making them a versatile ingredient for various breakfast preferences.
      • Flavor Base: The neutral flavor of oats allows for a wide range of toppings and add-ins without overpowering the taste.
      • Binding Agent: In some muesli recipes, oats can help bind other ingredients together, creating a cohesive mixture.
making Muesli mixture

 

    1. In a large bowl put 2 cups rolled oats. You could also use quick cooking rolled oats. Oats are a great source of protein for Vegetarians. It is rich in soluble fibre (to make it good for diabetics), which helps lower blood LDL cholesterol, the so-called "Bad" cholesterol.
    2. Add 1/4 cup  chopped almonds (badam). Almonds balance your cholesterol levels. almonds have a very low glycemic index and good for diabetics.
    3. Add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (akhrot). Eating a handful of Walnuts a day is said to increase good cholesterol (HDL). Walnuts are rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids which contain high amounts of DHA which improve thinking power in adults and excellent for brain health for kids.
    4. Add 1/4 cup  chopped pistachios (unslated). These nuts are also a very good source of protein. Like walnuts and almonds, pistachios can also cut heart disease risk. Its high monounsaturated fat content may actually lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
    5. Add 1/4 cup pecan (optional). Pecans are packed with monounsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. The fiber and healthy fats in pecans help regulate blood sugar levels, making them a suitable snack for people with diabetes.
    6. Add 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of minerals like phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, iron and copper.
    7. Add 2 tbsp sunflower seeds (surajmukhi ke beej). Balances Cholesterol levels: Sunflower Seeds are very rich in Vitamin E that can fight free radical damage, which leads to cholesterol oxidation.
    8. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened  coconut slices or flakes.   coconut has saturated fats but most of it is MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) which promote weight loss. The high fibre content of 13.6 gm (45.3% of RDA) along with high lauric acid content of coconut improves cholesterol levels in the body.
    9. Add 1/2 tsp sea salt (khada namak). A small amount of sea salt can bring out the sweetness of the fruits and nuts in muesli, enhancing the overall taste.
    10. Add 1/4 tsp cinnamon (dalchini) powder. Cinnamon adds a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the sweetness of the muesli.
    11. Add 2 tbsp  honey or maple syrup. By minimizing the amount of honey or maple syrup, muesli retains its health benefits while still offering a satisfying taste. If you are not going to add dried fruits then increase the amount of honey used based on your preferences.  Many muesli recipes incorporate dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or apricots, which naturally add sweetness to the dish. 
    12. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or  vanilla essence. Vanilla pairs well with a variety of ingredients commonly found in muesli, such as nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
