Notes

Pro Tip: Wait to add toppings like granola, peanut butter, or maple syrup until before serving. This way, they don't get soggy.
How long does muesli need to soak? 
Letting your muesli sit overnight yields the best results but your oat mixture only needs a few hours to become soft. If you're in a time crunch, you can let them soak for 1-3 hours.
What is the best time to eat muesli? 
Although you can eat muesli any time of the day, it does make a delicious breakfast. The whole grains combined with a drizzle of maple syrup and other healthy toppings make for an uber-nutritious breakfast.
