this cereal with low-fat yogurt or nonfat milk to start your day off with whole grains and some protein and calcium-rich dairy. You can substitute any combination of chopped dried or fresh fruit for the raisins—apricots, apples, figs, cherries or cranberries would all be delicious. Try walnuts or hazelnuts instead of the almonds if you like. Ground flaxseeds stirred in at the end provide a boost of heart-healthy omega-3s.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2/3 cup rye flakes, or wheat flakes
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds, (1 3/4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons flaked coconut, (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 1/4 cup flaxseeds, ground
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread oats and rye (or wheat) flakes on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir in almonds and coconut; bake until the oats are fragrant, about 8 minutes. Turn off the oven. Stir raisins into the museli.
- Microwave honey for 10 seconds in a glass measuring cup. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon; drizzle over the muesli and stir to coat. Return the muesli to the turned-off warm oven and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Stir in flaxseeds, if using.
