Scandinavian Muesli

Serve this Scandinavian cereal with low-fat yogurt or nonfat milk to start your day off with whole grains and some protein and calcium-rich dairy. You can substitute any combination of chopped dried or fresh fruit for the raisins--apricots, apples, figs, cherries or cranberries would all be delicious. Try walnuts or hazelnuts instead of the almonds if you like. Ground flaxseeds stirred in at the end provide a boost of heart-healthy omega-3s.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking (not instant) rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup rye flakes, or wheat flakes (see note)
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds, (1 3/4 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons flaked coconut, (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds, ground (optional; see tip)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread oats and rye (or wheat) flakes on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir in almonds and coconut; bake until the oats are fragrant, about 8 minutes. Turn off the oven. Stir raisins into the muesli.
  2. Microwave honey for 10 seconds in a glass measuring cup. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon; drizzle over the muesli and stir to coat. Return the muesli to the turned-off warm oven and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Stir in flaxseeds, if using.
