Verival crispy muesli is a delicious way to have a healthy breakfast in the morning. You can also enjoy the crispy muesli, also called granola, during your lunch break or in between as a crunchy snack.
It provides you with important nutrients and fresh energy. In this blog, we describe exactly what the Crunchy Muesli is and how you can easily make your own granola.
Crispy muesli explained quickly
The basis of a delicious crispy cereal is baked oatmeal. They are baked with honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, or sugar in the oven with top heat. The sweetness caramelizes and combines the kernel-like oatmeal into crispy-sweet oatmeal balls also called granola or crunchy.
You can also use the healthy granola as a topping for yogurt, porridge, ice cream, smoothie bowls, or simply as a snack in between. Nuts, seeds, or dried fruits make a muesli particularly crispy.
They also provide important nutrients and bring variety to your healthy breakfast. The whole thing also becomes fruity with dried strawberries, blueberries, apricots, and other freeze-dried fruits or, depending on the season, fresh fruit.
Make crispy muesli yourself – what should I pay attention to?
It is super easy to create a crispy muesli yourself. Take crispy oatmeal, mix it with honey or maple syrup, and bake it at 180°C or below on a baking sheet lined with baking paper in the oven.
After ten minutes, remove the oatmeal from the oven and shake the tin a little. Then let it bake for another 5 minutes. After a total of 15 minutes and some time to cool down, you have healthy and delicious crunchy muesli.
After the baking time, you have crispy-sweet oatmeal balls that can be combined with other toppings to your heart's content. At verival.de, you will find a wide range of delicious products that you can use for your personal crispy muesli. When choosing your ingredients, make sure they are certified organic.
At Verival, some of the ingredients come from our own contract cultivation or from suppliers who provide the best organic quality, guarantee fair working conditions, and ensure sustainable cultivation. You don't have to worry about seasonality, as our offered fruits are freeze-dried and therefore last a long time.
What ingredients do I need for my classic crispy muesli?
A classic crispy cereal consists of gritty oatmeal, nuts, kernels, and raisins. However, time-tested oats aren't the only type of grain you can use.
We at Verival love variety and also recommend trying Einkorn, Emmer, Spelt, Wheat, and Rye. All cereals can be processed in different ways, e.g., baked, popped, or refined with honey.
Try it out! Not everyone likes raisins, but many like it fruity. Try your cereal with dried cherries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or apricots.
A classic muesli with various toppings, e.g. with nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, is rounded off beautifully. They all also provide you with nutrients that complete your healthy breakfast.

How do I prepare the crispy muesli?
Healthy eating doesn't require much effort. Mix your favourite Verival ingredients in an airtight glass. If necessary, you can take as much cereal as you want to eat. Add fresh milk or a milk alternative. Cold or warm – as you like it. There are no limits to the combination.
Just as delicious is a crispy cereal with vegan milk alternatives such as almond, hazelnut or soy milk. And of course, there are also vegan sweeteners such as agave syrup or maple syrup. If you like it particularly fruity, then additionally cut fresh berries and grapes into it. Another little tip: if every little second counts in the morning, then portion your healthy breakfast cereal in the evening.
It is best to use a glass container with a tight-fitting lid. Glass jars are odorless, and your morning cereal won't taste like last week's lunch. You can already mix all the dry ingredients and prepare all the others to refine your cereal, such as nutmeg or similar. In the morning, you only need to add your milk or your milk alternative, and you can enjoy your healthy breakfast.
