Easy, Overnight Muesli - Strawberry Version (Switzerland)
Description: The original inspiration for this was my recipe #423395 from the Usborne Children's World Cookbook that Gramma gave my son when he first started learning to cook. This version was created when I was soaking the oats one night when DS mentioned that he'd eaten the last apple. He didn't know I had plans for it in the morning. The next morning I used strawberries instead and whatever else was on hand & this recipe was born. :) Muesli is a healthy breakfast cereal, originally created by a Swiss doctor, made up of grains, fruit and nuts. Cook time includes overnight softening of the oats, as there is no actual cooking for this recipe.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons rolled oats (bulk section of supermarket)
6 tablespoons water
6 strawberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried cranberries (I used Pomegranate flavored)
1 tablespoon pecans, chopped
1 tablespoon clear honey
Steps:
Before you go to bed, put the oats into a large bowl and pour the water on top.
In the morning, remove stems from strawberries and chop the fruit into 1/2 inch pieces.
Gently stir strawberries, lemon juice, cranberries and pecans into the softened oats.
Divide the muesli into four bowls and drizzle some honey on top of each serving.
