In my muesli jar, I used blueberry yogurt. One can use skimmed milk or plain yogurt as well.

P.S.
– If you prefer raw muesli, just mix the grain flakes, oats, and bran in a large bowl and skip the oven part.
– if you want sweet muesli, Coat the grains mix with 2tbs of Honey before toast
– You can also use other seeds like Chia or sessame as well, depends upon your taste.
