Muesli (European Breakfast Cereal)
)
Muesli is a favorite European breakfast cereal. It was first invented by Dr. Bircher Benner in the late 1800s to improve the diets of children. It is delicious served with fresh berries.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup bran
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup chopped dried apples
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts and/or almonds
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a large bowl, and mix well. Store in airtight containers.
If you prefer your oats toasted, place the rolled oats on a baking sheet in a 350 oven for about 15 minutes, stirring from time to time.
You can substitute rolled wheat and/or rye flakes for oats.
Muesli can be served softened with yogurt and served with fresh fruit as they do in Switzerland, or served with milk.
