Muesli by any other name is cold oatmeal – and it rocks! When we see Muesli in the stores in the US it is a cold, ready-to-eat cereal like granola. While this is technically muesli, this recipe is very different. It is a cold oatmeal with nuts and fruit and is so delicious. It was developed by a Swiss physician in the early 1900s to help his patients heal. Here is a recipe that we have worked on to get the taste just right without breaking the calorie bank.
Ingredients
- 2 apples (or 1 apple and 1 pear), grated
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2/3 cup yogurt
- 4 Tablespoons nuts or seeds
- Grapes or berries (optional)
Directions
- Place the grated fruit, oats, milk, and yogurt in a glass bowl. You can use any kind of yogurt you like. Plain yogurt will lighten the calories and sugar but will result in a tart finished product. Vanilla yogurt works well.
- Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Serve topped with nuts or seeds and sliced grapes or berries.
This recipe makes about 4 small or 2 large servings. It will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
