Creamy Overnight Muesli

1. Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped dates or raisins, cashew pieces, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Pour in the nondairy milk and add the maple syrup. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly combined and the oats begin to absorb the liquid. Let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes, allowing the oats and chia seeds to start absorbing the moisture. This initial soaking helps create the creamy texture that makes overnight muesli so delicious. Before covering and refrigerating, ensure the mixture is well combined and moist.

2. Refrigerate and Adjust

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to rest overnight. This extended soaking period softens the oats and lets the flavors meld together beautifully. In the morning, give the muesli a good stir to check its consistency. If you prefer a thinner texture, add a splash more of your chosen nondairy milk. Taste and, if you'd like a touch more sweetness, drizzle in a bit more maple syrup. The muesli should be creamy, and you can adjust it to your personal texture preference with ease.
