Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups Oats
- 1/2 cup Raisins
- 1/2 cup Dried Apricot, chopped
- 1/2 cup Assorted Nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, cashews)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together 4 cups of oats, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/2 cup assorted nuts, and 1/4 cup coconut flakes. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients. Store the mixture in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Prepare Cold Muesli: Measure 1/4 cup of the prepared muesli mixture into a serving bowl. Add 1/2 cup of yogurt, milk, or fruit juice. Allow the mixture to soak for 5 to 10 minutes or refrigerate overnight for a softer texture. Serve chilled.
- Prepare Hot Muesli: Place 1/2 cup of the muesli mixture in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup milk or water. Heat the mixture to just boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are tender. Serve warm, topped with fresh fruit and yogurt if desired.
