Product Details

Muesli started in a Swiss clinic at the turn of the last century and has changed remarkably little: rolled grains, dried fruit and seeds, loosely mixed and left unbaked. That last part is the real line between muesli and granola. Granola is baked with oil and a sweetener until it clumps, while muesli stays dry and separate, which is exactly what lets it drink up liquid.

So this one goes two ways. Cold, tip it into a jar with milk or yogurt and leave it in the fridge overnight; by morning the grains have gone tender and the fruit has plumped. Hot, simmer it a few minutes in milk or water and you have something closer to a mixed-grain porridge, with the dried fruit softening into it.

Useful in a household where one person eats at six and another at ten, out of the same bag.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

What is the difference between muesli and granola?
The dividing line is baking. Granola is baked with oil and a sweetener that bind the grains into crisp clusters, while muesli is left raw and loose, so the oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit stay separate. That difference is why granola is almost always eaten cold and dry, and why muesli can be soaked, cooked into porridge or stirred into yogurt as well as poured with milk.
Do you eat this muesli hot or cold?
Both, and Bob's Red Mill labels it as a hot or cold cereal for exactly that reason. Cold, a quarter cup sits in about half a cup of milk, yogurt or juice for five to ten minutes so the grains soften. Hot, it simmers on the stovetop or goes in the microwave and comes out as a mixed-grain porridge closer to oatmeal in texture.
What is Bircher or Swiss style muesli?
Bircher muesli is the original overnight preparation: muesli combined with yogurt and grated or chopped apple, covered and left in the refrigerator until morning. Bob's Red Mill lists it as the traditional Swiss method on its own preparation page. The long soak softens the grains and dried fruit completely, giving a creamy, spoonable bowl with no cooking at all.
Who invented muesli?
Muesli was created by the Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner in the late 1800s, which is where the Bircher name attached to the overnight version comes from. It became a fixture of European breakfast long before it reached North America, and that heritage is what the European Style label on this bag refers to.
How long does muesli need to soak?
It depends on how soft you want it. Five to ten minutes in milk or yogurt is enough to take the edge off the grains while leaving real chew, which is the ratio Bob's Red Mill gives for cold serving. An overnight soak in the refrigerator goes much further and produces a soft, creamy, pudding-like bowl. Denser mix-ins like whole nuts and coconut flakes stay crunchy either way.
Can you eat muesli dry, straight from the bag?
People do use it dry as a topping or a trail-mix style snack. Bob's Red Mill addresses uncooked oats directly in its support material, saying they are generally safe to eat without cooking but can be harder on digestion, and the company recommends either cooking to package directions or soaking overnight in water, milk or a plant-based beverage for the best result.
Does muesli work with plant-based milk or non-dairy yogurt?
Yes. The soaking step is about hydrating the grains and dried fruit, and oat, almond, soy and coconut beverages all do that. Thicker options such as coconut or soy yogurt give a denser overnight bowl, while thinner nut milks leave more liquid in the bottom, so adjust the ratio to taste.
What is the difference between European Style Muesli and Old Country Style Muesli?
They are two separate Bob's Red Mill blends. The European Style mix leans on a seven-grain base with almonds, several seeds, coconut and a four-fruit mix. Old Country Style is the company's other long-running muesli recipe, sold in different bag sizes. Both are labeled hot or cold cereals and prepare the same way.
Can I bake with muesli?
Yes, and it is a common use for the tail end of a bag. Because the mix is raw grains, nuts, seeds and dried fruit rather than pre-baked clusters, it folds into muffin, quick bread, pancake and cookie batters much like rolled oats plus mix-ins. It also works scattered over a fruit crisp before it goes in the oven.
