Healthy, From Scratch Breakfast Cereals Series & Blackberry & Apple Muesli
Muesli is a cold Swiss cereal that primarily consists of rolled oats. Traditionally, it’s set to soak in water overnight (hello overnight oats) and is eaten with fresh fruit, nuts, and cream sweetened with honey.
This takes a bit more preparation than a typical cold cereal, but nothing more than prepping some of the oatmeal recipes I’ve shared. This particular recipe doesn’t require soaking overnight, although I’m going to delve into the muesli depths because it’s fun to have breakfast recipes that are a twist on the same old oatmeal.
Blackberry & Apple Muesli
This is a traditional Swiss Muesli recipe with rolled oats, grated apple, blackberries, honey, and cream.

Instructions
First, soak the oatmeal in 6 TBSP cold water for 10 minutes. While you're waiting, mash the blackberries with a fork and combine with the grated apple. Sweeten this mixture with honey and combine. Add the fruit to the soaked oats and top with cream and cinnamon.
