The method
Step by step
- 1
Combine the rolled oats and milk in a medium-sized bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Any type of milk, dairy or non-dairy, works well for this recipe.
- 2
Stir in the grated apple, lemon juice, honey, raisins, and slivered almonds.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: The lemon juice helps prevent the apple from browning and adds a nice zest.
- 3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
About 6 hr
Cook’s note: Soaking allows the oats to soften and become creamy.
- 4
Before serving, give the muesli a good stir.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If the muesli is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- 5
