Instructions
- Select a high-quality spelt or ancient grains muesli as your base; ensure that it is unsweetened and contains a variety of whole grains and seeds for optimal nutrition and texture.
- Acquire fresh key limes for their distinctive tart flavor; you will need both the zest and the juice for this recipe.
- Measure out ½ cup of unsulfured, organic dried coconut flakes, preferably toasted for enhanced flavor.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the selected muesli with the coconut flakes, and mix to distribute evenly.
- Zest 2 key limes directly into the muesli mixture, taking care not to include any white pith which may introduce bitterness.
- In a small bowl, squeeze enough key limes to yield ¼ cup of fresh lime juice, ensuring no seeds enter the mixture.
- If opting for a liquid sweetener such as honey or maple syrup, gently warm 3 tablespoons in a saucepan over low heat until it reaches a pourable consistency, then mix the sweetener with the key lime juice.
- Pour the key lime juice and sweetener over the muesli and coconut mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure the grains are well-coated with the flavorings.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted ghee or coconut oil over the mixture, which will help bind the flavors and add a nourishing quality.
- To elevate the dish, finely chop a small handful of fresh mint leaves, which will complement the zestiness of the key lime.
- Fold the chopped mint into the muesli, being gentle to preserve the delicate leaves.
- Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the grains to soften slightly, providing a more pleasant eating experience.
- Prior to serving, sprinkle with a light dusting of coconut sugar or maple powdered sugar to add nuanced sweetness if necessary.
- Serve the Key Lime Coconut Muesli in small ceramic bowls, perhaps with a side of room-temperature dairy or plant-based milk, allowing guests to adjust the muesli to their preferred level of moisture.
