Muesli

Ingredients

• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit
• 1 teaspoon wheat bran (optional)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
• 2 tablespoons apples, chopped or other fresh fruit
• 2 tablespoons vanilla yogurt
• cinnamon (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Mix the oats, dried fruit, and wheat bran with enough milk to cover the oats. Any dried fruit will work just fine. I love dried cherries in muesli. My husband uses soy milk rather than cows milk.

2. 2

   Soak the mixture for at least 30 minutes but preferably overnight.

3. 3

   In the morning, drain off the milk.

4. 4

   Scoop enough muesli in a bowl for one serving. Top with walnuts, yogurt, and any fresh fruit. Strawberries and peaches are also very yummy in muesli.

5. 5

   Sometimes I top it with a dash of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.

6. 6

   All of these measurements are approximate. Use your judgment. I like to make enough for about 3 days so it is relatively fresh when I eat it.
