Muesli Recipe
My family hosted a foreign exchange student from Germany when I was in high school. A year after he went back, we visited him and his family. His mom was a wonderful cook and introduced us to some new flavor combinations. One morning for breakfast, she made a wonderful cereal-type mixture of oats, nuts, fruit, and cinnamon called muesli.
It had been years since I made this breakfast dish, and I had forgotten how tasty it is. It’s very simple, but the flavors blend so well together. For me, this is the perfect breakfast: Healthy, hearty, delicious, and best of all, cheap! You likely will have everything you need for this recipe already in your kitchen.
Serve the muesli with a heaping tablespoon of plain yogurt and enjoy.
