Muesli is loosely defined by Wikipedia as "a popular breakfast cereal based on uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts." That's pretty broad, but here is how I do it and its a hit with my family!
6 dried figs
6 dates
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup oats
1 cup milk
1 cup plain yogurt
3 tbs. honey
Pulse first four ingredients in food processor until coarsely chopped. Add remaining ingredients and then refrigerate 2-24 hours to soften and absorb liquid. (I let mine sit at room temp. for 12 hours in order to remove phytates from the oats.)
Our family scripture this week: Let the words of mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14
Just wanted to let you know that I had never heard of a 'phytate' before your blog- so I've read up on it a little bit. Sounds like a good cereal- I might try it! I've been eating Kashi's GOLean cereals (if they are on sale!) Probably should try and make my own. Thanks for all this info!
ReplyDeleteKacie- I just heard of a phytate sometime in the past year. I try to not be a total health fanatic, but I do soak regularly just because its not really hard and it gets half of the process of cooking done the day before. I have a post about homemade granola you might like too. That would probably be more comparable to Kashi cereal.
