With all their fiber-filled goodness, oats are a breakfast superstar. In summer, though, a steaming bowl of oatmeal can seem, well, too steamy. For a cool alternative, try this version of the classic Swiss cereal muesli. Instead of adding hot water, you use a blender and yogurt to soften the oats, then serve with berries for a delicious breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup whole nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup fresh berries
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the yogurt, oats, nuts, flaxseed meal, and maple syrup or honey.
- Blend until the oats and nuts are in small pieces (about 30 seconds), then divide the muesli among three bowls and top with the berries. Or blend 1/2 cup of berries with the muesli and garnish with the rest.
