Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 green apple
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons almonds (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, chopped almonds, raisins, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Wash the green apple thoroughly. Grate it (with the skin on for added fiber and nutrients) and immediately add it to the dry mixture to prevent browning.
Add the milk, yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract (if using) to the bowl.
Mix everything together thoroughly until all the oats have been moistened and the mixture is well-combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container.
Refrigerate the muesli for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to let the flavors meld and the oats soften.
When ready to serve, give the muesli a good stir. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can stir in a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Serve chilled in bowls and optionally garnish with additional chopped almonds, a drizzle of honey, or fresh fruit slices.
