0

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 cup Low-fat Plain yogurt
  • 4 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

An alternative to hot oatmeal (and commercial cold cereals with often-misleading health claims), muesli makes a refreshing, healthy summer breakfast.

– Place 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1/4 cup slivered almonds in microwave-safe medium bowl.

– Microwave at High 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring once, or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Let cool.

– Add 1/4 cup raisins (or other dried fruit) and 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed; mix well.

– Add 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt, 4 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/8 tsp cinnamon; mix well.

– Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or for up to 4 days.

To serve, divide muesli among 4 individual bowls or jars. Top each serving with 1/4 cup fresh or frozen and thawed unsweetened fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or diced apple.
