Cook Time: -
Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins, apricots)
- 1/4 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- 2 cups milk or yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: rolled oats, dried fruits, nuts, milk or yogurt, honey, and cinnamon.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ensuring they are evenly spread.
- Chop the dried fruits (raisins and apricots) into smaller, bite-sized pieces if desired for easier mixing and eating.
- Roughly chop the almonds and walnuts to release their natural flavors and create a more varied texture.
- Add the chopped dried fruits and nuts to the oats, stirring gently to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- If using, sprinkle the cinnamon over the oat mixture and mix thoroughly to ensure even spice distribution.
- Pour the milk or yogurt over the muesli mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.
- Drizzle honey over the top for added sweetness, if desired, and stir gently to incorporate.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Before serving, give the muesli a final stir and adjust consistency with additional milk or yogurt if needed.
- Serve chilled in individual bowls, optionally garnishing with additional fresh fruits or a sprinkle of extra nuts.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: For busy mornings, prepare your muesli the night before. Just let it sit in the fridge overnight for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to swap out the dried fruits and nuts based on your preferences or what you have on hand. Try adding coconut flakes or pumpkin seeds for a unique twist!
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to elevate the flavor profile of your muesli.
- Use Fresh Fruits: Top your muesli with fresh fruits like berries, bananas, or apples for added freshness and nutrition.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a creamier texture, increase the amount of milk or yogurt before serving.
- Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Make it a Meal: This muesli can be enjoyed any time of day! Consider it for lunch or a healthy snack option.
