Muesli

Mix in a large jar:

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (may be combined with rye, kamut, barley, wheat or other flakes or even small grains)    
  • 1 ½ cups quick oats for milky taste and appearance
  • 1 cup Thompson raisins and/or pieces of other dried fruit
  • 1 cup nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, unsweetened coconut...)

Take this as a guideline for your first batch, since many variations are possible. You will need to start thinking about your breakfast the night before as your Muesli will need a good overnight soak. Put enough in your cereal bowl and cover generously with water. Let rest overnight and enjoy the next morning.
 
Variation: soaked overnight in boiling water in a thermos bottle for cool winter mornings. To enhance digestibility of raw grains, soak in goat's whey or 1 Tbs. of goat's yogurt added to the soaking water for one person.
