Muesli is a cold porridge of oats, fruit and milk or yogurt that can be eaten immediately, or can be left to soften 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.
