Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots, apples, prunes or raisins (or a mixture of all)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts, or a combination of all
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla low-fat yogurt
  • ground cinnamon to taste
  • additional fresh fruit for adding on top (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 4 bowls

Method
 

  1. 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.)
  2. 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.
