Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, dried fruit, nuts, wheat germ and brown sugar; toss well to combine. (At this stage, you can store this dry version of the cereal for up to a week in a tightly covered jar.)
- To serve the cereal, divide this mixture between 4 bowls and add 1/4 cup of milk to each. If you prefer crisp cereal, serve immediately. If you prefer it more soft (like oatmeal), let stand for 10 minutes. Top each bowl with a generous dollop of yogurt and dust with cinnamon.
