Blueberry Muesli Breakfast
Makes 3 servings
Muesli is a Swiss breakfast cereal that is a mixture of grains, nuts, and dried fruits. Traditionally, it is soaked overnight in fruit juice, then served with fresh fruit. It may also be served with hot or cold fortified soy- or rice milk.
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup chopped dried fruit (apples, figs, apricots, etc.)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 fortified soy- or rice milk, fruit juice, or applesauce
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Combine oats, almonds, dried fruit, and raisins. Leave whole or grind in a food processor for a finer cereal. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
To serve, mix with non-dairy milk, fruit juice, or applesauce. Stir in fresh or frozen blueberries and let stand several minutes before serving.
