Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cups plain yogurt (optional for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)

- 1 medium grated apple (optional for freshness)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional for flavor)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
If using grated apple, peel and grate the apple and add it to the mixture for extra freshness and a natural sweetness.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt (if using), honey (or maple syrup), and ground cinnamon (if using).
Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and let the muesli sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Serve the muesli chilled, topping it with additional fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
