Muesli is a cold porridge of oats, fruit and milk or yogurt that softens in the fridge overnight. However, don’t be fooled by this humble dish. Something magical happens while the muesli sits in the fridge over time, turning the oats into a soft, creamy and satisfying breakfast. This dairy-free version uses coconut yogurt and coconut milk and has added fiber from a shredded Granny Smith apple.
