Ingredients you'll need
Full ingredient measurements & instructions are in the recipe card below.
- Rolled oats: traditional muesli uses rolled oats, hence why this recipe uses them. Rolled oats are less processed and take longer to absorb liquid than quick oats, so be sure to use rolled oats or old fashioned oats.
- Prune puree: you need 1 cup of prunes, ½ cup water, and a blender to make the puree. This adds fibre, extra nutrients and natural sweetness.
- Apple: keep the skin on, and use a box grater to shred the apple. Use any apple you like. This adds flavour, texture, sweetness and some addition liquid.
- Yogurt: plain Greek yogurt is what you want to use. It provides some protein, and you don't want extra sweetness from a sweetened yogurt.
- Nuts & seeds: these add crunch, fibre and protein. Chop your nuts before adding.
- Maple syrup: this is optional based on how sweet you like your muesli. The prune puree adds sweetness, so you may not need to add the syrup.
Additions & Substitutions
- Make it vegan: use a plant-based milk and yogurt to make this vegan friendly
- Make it gluten free: this recipe is gluten free, just confirm your oats are certified gluten-free
- Fruit: I like to use berries, but anything will work. Sliced peaches, plums or nectarines would be delicious during the summer. Try pomegranate seeds, banana, or pear for winter. You can use all fresh, all frozen, or a combination of both.
- Nuts & Seeds: use what you like and what you have on hand. Pecans, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds are some examples. Be sure to chop your nuts first so they're not too big.
- More fibre: if you want even more fibre, you can add ground flax and chia seeds. I suggest ¼ of each maximum. You may need to add more milk since chia seeds tend to soak up a lot of liquid.
How to Make Healthy Muesli with Prune Puree
- Step 1: Add rolled oats, yogurt, and milk to a large bowl.

- Step 3: Stir well to combine.
- Step 4: Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust to your preference.
- Step 5: Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge. Let muesli sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- Step 6: Remove from the fridge and divide equally among 3-4 containers. Add a dollop of the remaining prune puree on top of each muesli. Enjoy!
