Strawberry Muesli

White Rose Child's Note:

Take advantage of summer's bounty! All these lovely berries... mmm... it's filled with fruitiness and great served warm as an extra option.

• Total Time: 8 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 1

Yield: 1.0 bowl

• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2-2/3 cup vanilla soymilk
• 1/2 med-large ripe banana
• 1/2 small apple (I use Granny Smith)
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional) or 1 teaspoon agave syrup (optional) or 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Directions:

1. The night before, mix the oats and soymilk, cover and refrigerate overnight.(Note-use a mixture of regular and more finely-ground, about 2:1, for the creamiest consistency)
2. In the morning, prepare the fruit: shred the apple; quarter the banana lenghtwise and then slice it. Cut the strawberries in quarters or eighths, depending on their size-I use about 6 large berries; feel free to use more or less to your taste.
3. Stir everything together, drizzle on the sweetener if desired, and enjoy!
4. To serve warm, simply microwave for about 1 minute before adding the strawberries. Then stir 'em in and devour your tasty oatmeal/muesli!

This was a tasty and healthy way to start the day. I used skim milk and a dash of extract. I skipped the syrup and just sprinkled a tiny bit of brown sugar substitute into the milk. Otherwise, the fruit made it sweet enough. Next time I will try it warm as I am sure that will work well with the strawberries.

I agree, very delicious. I've never had muesli before and this was a nice way to introduce myself to it. I used skim milk and a bit of vanilla extract as well and a little Splenda for sweetener. Very very good and wholesome. Thanks for the recipe!
