Fruit and Nut Muesli Bread Rounds Recipe

Jan 4, 2022 · 142 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m always on the hunt for a great healthy snack. Filled with wholesome ingredients, this fruit and nut muesli bread rounds recipe is perfect option!

Do you ever struggle with what to eat for a healthy snack? I know I do. Sure, you can have some apple slices with almond butter or dried fruit and nuts, but that gets kind of boring after a while, doesn’t it?

Why You’ll Love Them

  • Quick and easy – ready in just a few minutes with minimal prep.
  • Perfect for busy days – a great option for quick snacks or light meals.
  • Naturally vegetarian – made with wholesome ingredients.
  • Sweet and savory flavors – fruit, nuts, and creamy cheese pair beautifully.
  • Great for entertaining – simple but elegant enough for gatherings.
  • Flexible recipe – easy to customize with different toppings.

Starbucks Protein Bistro BoxOne day, I was getting some coffee at Starbucks and saw this thing called a Protein Bistro Box.

What is in the Starbucks protein box?

  • Hardboiled egg
  • Fruit slices
  • Two little pieces of cheese
  • Packet of peanut butter (this is the brand they use)
  • Multigrain muesli bread round

What is muesli?

  • Muesli just means a combination of fruits, nuts, and seeds.

Customizations

  • Use different fruits – dried berries in place of raisins
  • Add different nuts – walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, or hazelnuts.
  • Add sweetness – drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
  • Add crunch – sprinkle with granola or seeds.
  • Make it savory – add herbs or a pinch of sea salt.
  • Basically use whatever combination of fruit, nuts and seeds you have on  hand!

Tips for Success

  • Chop the dried fruit and nuts into small pieces – Smaller pieces distribute more evenly throughout the dough, ensuring every bread round has a good balance of fruit, nuts, and seeds.
  • Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic – Kneading for about 5–8 minutes helps incorporate the mix-ins and develops the gluten structure needed for soft bread rounds.
  • Keep the dough covered while rising – Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel so the dough doesn’t dry out while it rises.
  • Shape the rounds evenly – When forming the dough squares into rounds, try to keep them similar in size so they bake evenly.

Red Star Yeast for making fruit and nut muesli bread roundsI had never had fruit and nut bread, let alone one portioned out in little rounds which would make them perfect for snacks.  But at over $5 per Protein Bistro Box, it is not all that feasible for me to get them more than every once in a while, and I wanted those muesli bread rounds in my life!

Serving Suggestions

  • A quick breakfast or brunch
  • A light vegetarian lunch
  • An afternoon snack
  • A simple appetizer for gatherings
  • A charcuterie board addition

They’re also great alongside:

  • Yogurt parfaits
  • Fresh fruit salad
  • Smoothies
  • Coffee or tea

Dough for fruit and nut muesli bread rounds recipeI searched far and wide for something similar to the fruit and nut bread rounds, but everything I found was either in the form of a whole loaf of bread (and sure, you can slice it, but it dries up quickly and is just not the same) or the taste was just off. So I set out to make my own!

How do you make Fruit and Nut Muesli Bread Rounds?

  • Combine warm water, yeast, salt, honey and oats in large bowl. Stir once and allow to rest until the mixture is foamy on top (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Slowly stir all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Mix until dough just begins to for.
  • Add in chopped dried fruit, nuts and seeds.  Stir a few times.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes, until the fruit, nuts and seeds have been incorporated into the dough.  The dough will be one large ball shape.
  • Put the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for an hour.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a large rectangle. Cut into 18-21 squares.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • One by one, take the dough squares and form them into rounds, then place on the prepared baking sheets. When you have formed all of the rounds, cover the sheet pans and allow to rise for another hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375. Remove plastic wrap from the baking sheets and bake bread rounds for 15 minutes or until the bottoms are slightly golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.

Whenever I’m making bread with yeast, I use Red Star Yeast (as you already know from my sheet pan pizza recipe). There simply is no other brand of yeast I use, because Red Star Yeast truly makes bread baking successful. I tested this recipe with three of their yeasts, and honestly, they all worked GREAT! If you’re short on time, use the quick-rise yeast and cut the rising times in the recipe in half. Basically, you cannot go wrong using Red Star Yeast!

fruit and nut muesli bread roundsThe end result of my recipe testing was amazing. These fruit and nut muesli bread rounds are so delicious. They’re slightly sweet and truly are perfect for healthy snacking.

baked muesli bread roundsBaking bread can be a little intimidating, but making these bread rounds was really fun and not difficult at all. I baked them on a Sunday afternoon and it felt so good to have such healthy snacks made for the coming work week.

FAQs for fruit and nut muesli bread rounds

  • Do these fruit and nut muesli bread rounds freeze well? YES! Simply allow the bread rounds to cool completely after cooking, then store in a freezer storage bag. When ready to enjoy, remove a round from the freezer and allow it to come to defrost on the counter, or microwave for 30 seconds.
  • What can you put on muesli bread? Muesli bread pairs well with many toppings, especially ingredients that balance sweet and creamy flavors. Popular toppings include: cream cheese or goat cheese, fresh fruit like apples, pears, or berries, honey or maple syrup, nut butters, and chopped nuts or seeds

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes minutes
Servings: 21 rounds

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 packet Red Star Yeast Active Dry Yeast or you could use Red Star Yeast Instant Dry Yeast, or Platinum Yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions

  • Combine warm water (I warm the water in the microwave for 30 seconds-1 minute), yeast, salt, honey and oats in a large bowl, stir once, and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture is foamy on top.
  • Slowly stir in the all-purpose and whole wheat flour and mix until dough just begins to form. You can do this with a stand mixer with a dough attachment set on low, or by hand (which is what I did for these bread rounds). It may seem like there is not enough water, but it is once the dough is mixed.
  • Add in the chopped dried fruit, nuts and seeds and stir a few times.

  • Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • One by one, take the dough squares and form them into rounds, then place on the prepared baking sheets. When all the dough has been made into rounds and on the baking sheets, cover the baking sheets with plastic wrap and allow to rise for another hour.

Notes

These bread rounds freeze/defrost really well. To freeze them simply allow the bread rounds to cool completely, then store in a freezer storage bag. When ready to enjoy, remove a round from the freezer and allow it to come to defrost on the counter, or microwave for 30 seconds.
You can use 1 1/2 cups already made muesli, instead of the 1/4 cup each of the different dried fruit and nuts and omit the 1/4 cup oats

    This recipe did not work out for me, my dough did not rise one bit, I have used yeast before, never had a problem. I don’t know what went wrong, I cooked the dough anyway and ended up with shoe soles. I won’t try again.

      I’m so sorry to hear you didn’t have success with this recipe. If it didn’t rise that would mean there was something wrong with your yeast. Is your yeast old? Or was your water too hot-it could have killed the yeast? Anyway, sorry you had issues, that’s always frustrating

    I was wondering if you had a modification for turning this into a loaf of bread instead of flatbread? I would love to bake a whole long. Also (and equally important) how are you measuring your cups of flour? A scooped cup, sifted cup, spooned cup, or by weight?

    Reply
    • Sweetphi says

      November 21, 2022 at 9:55 am

      Hi Julie, this could definitely be made into loaf. For that I’d recommend following the recipe as is, just instead of dividing into little rounds, form it into a loaf. Then preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a metal or cast iron pan (not glass, Pyrex, or ceramic) on the lowest oven rack, and have 1 cup of hot water ready. When ready to bake, slash the top of the loaf 2 or 3 times with a knife, making a cut about ½-inch deep. Place bread in oven on a baking sheet and carefully pour hot water into the shallow pan on the rack beneath.
      Bake the bread for 25 to 38 minutes, or until deep, golden brown (depends on your oven). Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a rack.
      Hope this helps!

    Made this over the weekend – SO GOOD! THANK YOU for the recipe! I’d fallen in love with some similar crisps from the grocery store, then saw this in your email. YASSS. However, I did NOT wanna go back out in the cold to the store – it’s been below zero here – so I used what was in the cupboard; craisins and dark choco-covered cashews. Um, YUM. Eager to make these again (and again!) with different add-ins 🙂

    Made then today using bread flour in hopes of them being more chewy. They turned out perfect! Used chopped pecans, dried cranberries and golden raisins because that is what I had on hand. Love that they are egg-free for those with allergies. Will make again!

    Good taste. A bit dry. I feel that doing 1 rise would have been enough because mine came out as flattish round buns rather than the flat rounds you get from Starbucks or Whole Foods. Everyone in my house sampled and referred to them as “cookies.” After the results of my first bake, I decided to use a loaf pan for the remaining dough, which went well and came out like a regular loaf of (fruit) bread.

    The prep & total time is rather deceptive, since it doesn’t factor in the proofing of the yeast or two one hour rise periods. Would definitely suggest changing that. Otherwise it gives one the impression that this is a quick recipe. Although the hands on time isn’t long, the recipe itself does require over 3hrs…not 25minutes.

    Hello my name is Susan, I also buy the protein boxes with the Multigrain Muesli rounds and fell in love with them , but yes they can be pricey. I bought mine at Giant, I even went in and ask several different people working in Giant’s bakery and no one knew where I could buy them. They said they come already prepared. So I too have searched the web to no avail, until today I found this blog. have never been on a blog before ..lol Sorry but just don’t have that kind of time. I think maybe I will find the time in the furture because this has been a nice experience for me and I am certainly going to try the recipe for the rounds. I am not sure what combination is used in the protein packet I buy at Giant but it looks just like the one from Starbucks. MY question is … are the same combinations used in this recipe as what’s in Starbucks? I noticed you said you can use what ever combination we want but I would really like it to be as close to what is in the original.
    thank you so much or putting up the recipe I am going to try I out.

      Hi Susan, welcome to my blog. Thank you for leaving a comment. I think I got the combination of ingredients pretty close to the ones at Starbucks. Many people have commented on how similar they turn out, so I think you should be all set if you follow the recipe. A little variation will be there, because obviously these are homemade and not the exact recipe (but I can tell you these are super tasty and after having them I kind of prefer these homemade ones lol).
      Best of luck 🙂

    I can’t wait to try these bread rounds! I love the Starbucks protein boxes, but they are expensive. I am also tracking my calories, carbs, fats, and protein. I added all of the ingredient nutrition amounts and divided by the 21 servings. My calculations are for each piece to be 118 calories, 2 grams fat, 22 grams carbs, and 3 grams protein. Still very reasonable and you could make the pieces smaller if you want fewer calories. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.

(I subbed in the Bob’s Red Mill Muesli).

    Just waiting for my dough to rise and I’m wondering after you roll the balls and let them rise- do you press them “flat” before baking? I want more discs than balls.

    Like you, I enjoyed the bread from the protien box and wanted to see if I could find a recipe, THANK YOU. I hope to make this for the work week coming up.

    Part of my weight loss plan is calorie counting, so I used your recipe and put it in the recipe analyzer at VeryWellFit. I did used the whole recipe, in case I don’t make exactly 21 pieces, I can divide the #’s by how many I make.

    Here is what the analyzer said: for 21 pieces they are 44 calories each! This is wonderful for me.

    I will come back and post my thoughts after I try your recipe.

    My teenager is a huge fan of the protein boxes but making a special trip to Starbucks isn’t always possible. And, to be honest, I always feel like homemade is best but, with one of her favorite parts being the muesli bread, wasn’t sure what to substitute. I am so happy to have found this recipe to day. They JUST came out of the oven and are GORGEOUS! The smell amazing, and I am so excited to be able to create a homemade version of her favorite treat. Bonus points that they can be frozen – nice and easy and should be thawed just in time for lunch. Thank you, thank you!

    My family was recently given a package of commercially made muesli flatbreads that had raisins and nuts/seeds in it. They were so delicious! Sadly, I ate the last one for breakfast this morning, they are now gone and I miss them already. Equally sadly, I am diabetic, which means I have to be careful about what I eat, so regular flour is not recommended by my Dr. I do have an unopened container of coconut flour, and was wondering if you might have some suggestions as to how to convert your recipe to one that uses coconut flour. We live on a very limited budget, so I can’t afford to make “oopsies” and waste food. Thanks in advance!

      Hi Cyn, sorry, I don’t know how to use the coconut flour in this recipe…coconut flour is really weird to cook/bake with, a little goes a long way, and it ends up having a weird texture in many recipes, so I’m not familiar with it, sorry!

        March 24, 2018 at 10:38 am

        Well, I decided to go for it and have a batch doing the rising phase of the recipe. I made a few changes to the recipe (based on recommended usage of coconut flour) which are as follows:

        1 ½ cups warm water
        1 packet Red Star Yeast Active Dry Yeast
        ½ teaspoon salt
        ¼ cup honey
        ¼ cup oats
        2/3 cup coconut flour
        1 ¼ cups almond flour
        3 eggs
        ¼ cup each: dried apricots, raisins, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds

        Other than the coconut and almond flours, and the addition of walnuts, pumpkin seeds and eggs, I basically stuck with your recipe. The dough is very moist, and looks like it won’t need to be kneaded. Hopefully I will be able to find my way back here to let you know how they turned out!

          December 28, 2020 at 8:57 am

          Great question: it’d be 1 1/2 cups already made muesli, you could use it instead of the 1/4 cup each of the different dried fruit and nuts and omit the oats (no soaking necessary). I’ll add this as a note to the recipe in case anyone else is curious!
