Nuts: The crunch and texture of sliced almonds complement the softness of the oats.
Liquid Ingredients: Muesli is held together with a mixture of eggs, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, melted butter or oil and milk (dairy or dairy-free).
Baking Essentials: The final touches are baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
