FAQs on Making Gluten-Free Muesli at Home

Q: Can I use any oats for gluten-free muesli? Yes, ensure the oats are labelled gluten-free. The oats that we normally get in stores can have traces of gluten.

Q: How can I make my muesli less sweet? You can use unsweetened dried fruits or add fresh fruits instead.

Q: Why does my muesli get soggy? Muesli can become soggy if stored in milk or yoghurt for too long. Add milk or yoghurt just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.
