The method

Step by step

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Serve cold, optionally topped with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
