Cranberry Muesli

:  November/December 2007

Your rating: None Average: 4.2 (38 votes)

There may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up—a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are.


READER'S COMMENT:
"Really great. I used pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower. "
