Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 4 cups Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 large Apple, grated
- 1 cup Dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds (or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
In the slow cooker, combine the rolled oats, milk, grated apple, dried cranberries, and chopped almonds.
Add the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat.
Cook for 4 hours, stirring once or twice during the process to prevent clumping and ensure even cooking.
After 4 hours, check the muesli for desired consistency. If it’s too thick, stir in a bit more milk to loosen it up.
Serve warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced banana, or additional nuts and honey if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk for a quick next-day breakfast.
