How do you consume Muesli? (mander.xyz)

I made a mistake, and bought a bag of muesli thinking it was cereal clusters. There is nobody else to blame other than my stupidity.

I don't think I know how to eat this thing. It's practically rolled oats with bits of fruit and nuts and all bran kind of cereals added in the mix but hardly noticeable.

I tried eating it like cereal, adding it to yoghurt or milk. It tastes like insipid cardboard flakes sprinkled with fruit. I tried cooking porridge with it, that was an improvement but I still find it boring.

Perhaps you have some suggestions on how to actually enjoy eating what's left of it? Bonus points if you know how to make it crunchy.

Thanks

Edit: I don't typically add sugar to things or even buy sugary cereal. My problem with this thing is the texture first and foremost. Thanks for your concern on how much processed foods I don't buy or like are harming my life.

Mix it with frozen berries and plain (unsweetened) yoghurt, and let sit in the fridge over night. It's delicious in the morning.

Huh, overnight you say? I'll try this, I got all the ingredients already

[–] viking@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

Yep, it takes a couple hours for the moisture of the yoghurt to fully seep into the muesli. If it's too soggy for your taste afterwards, you can always stir some more back in to balance it out, but personally I like it very soggy. It becomes almost porridge-like. If it's too sour, I'd add honey instead of sugar.

I tried overnight oats with yoghurt once and it failed miserably, the oats didn't absorb anything. Tried it with some milk later and it was perfect.

Proper Bircher Muesli right here.

[–] lluki@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

That doesn't sound like proper bircher muesli to me. Bircher is: soak oats in water, add grated apple, lemon juice, ground hazelnuts, "Kondensmilch" (like tubed, sweetened concentrated milk).

I usually do it as follows (but it's not "Bircher"): Mix oats with soymilk, sugar and cinnamon. Sometimes I add a little joghurt to get a denser consistency. Then some fruit. Berries, grated apple or banana (in slices) work well. Mix and soak overnight. Eat cold in the morning. I usually also prep 3 portions and eat them over the next 3 days.

Throw in some chia seeds or ground flaxseed if you want to publish the recipe on a foodblog.
