Tips for Choosing the Right Muesli

• Consider buying muesli depending on the desired texture and sweetness of the dessert. Toasted muesli will make the dish crunchier and less sweet in comparison with the use of raw muesli.

• It is essential to pay attention to the amount of sugar in the product so that it is possible to add an additional sweetener, if needed.

• Muesli with dried fruits can be used for making parfaits, bars, and other desserts with chocolate sauce, while plain oat muesli is suitable for a dish with a significant amount of sweeteners and fruits.
