Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh, hulled, and chopped)
- 1 medium apple (grated, including peel)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 4 whole fresh strawberries (for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully moistened.
Add the chopped strawberries, grated apple, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix gently to combine.
If using, stir in the chopped nuts and chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
In the morning, give the muesli a quick stir and divide it evenly between two bowls or jars.
Top each serving with fresh strawberries for garnish and an extra sprinkle of nuts, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this Swiss-inspired breakfast!
