Fresh Muesli with Apples and Almonds

Toasting the oats and almonds before soaking them gives this muesli a nuttier flavor. Be sure to buy old-fashion oats, not quick cooking -- the latter aren't as flavorful and chewy.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned roasted oats
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat (1 percent) Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup low-fat (1 percent) milk
  • 1/2 diced apple
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oats and almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until almonds are golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes; let cool to room temperature. In a small bowl, stir together U cup of toasted oat mixture, yogurt, and milk. Cover and refrigerate until oats are soft, 1 hour or up to overnight.
  2. Spoon muesli into two bowls. Top with apple and remaining toasted oat mixture; drizzle with honey.
