"Müesli" Oatmeal or How to Sweeten Up a Bowl of Steel Cut Oats

Chef Norbert
The original recipe contained oats, apples, and almonds or hazelnuts. Over time, people have added additional ingredients to this mixture and even serve mix-your-own muesli for breakfast with containers of seeds, grains, and dried fruit set out on the table or buffet.

Serve

  • Portion oatmeal into bowls, serve with "Müesli" topping and enjoy. Add seasonal fresh berries to the oatmeal to kick it up a notch.

Chef Notes

Because oats have a higher fat content than other grains, they go rancid more easily. For that reason, whether you’re buying oat groats, steel-cut oats, rolled oats, or oat bran, buy in smaller quantities and store these foods in the refrigerator.
