The Muesli Cometh Yes! I have discovered the goodness that is muesli and wish to hear your tips, tricks, and recipes.→[More:]It was in the airport. it was dawn. I was hungry. I walked past the shelves of chocolate croissants, oversized muffins, cinnamon buns, and other potentially tempting things, rejecting each for its heavy load of sugars and fats and lack of other nutrients. And then I saw it: a cup labelled "muesli."

YUM. Never tried it before. For years I've tried to get into oatmeal for breakfast, but I honestly don't like plain oats that much, and don't want to futz around with boiling water before I've had my coffee. The muesli was like the perfect alternative: oats, but cold! with nutty, fruity goodness, sort of chewy and faintly sweet, with milk!

So now I want to learn to make muesli at home. I looked up one recipe that involved making 6 servings, but I think that would be gross after a day or so if I'm the only one eating it one serving at a time. So there must be a way to make "muesli mix" and just add the milk at night for tomorrow's serving, so it soaks just enough but doesn't get gakky.

Does anyone have a good method for that? Also, what do you put in it? It seems sort of anything-goes, and I have coconut, dried cranberries, almonds, pecans, and coconut at home.

What else do I need to know about muesli?
