Muesli (Swiss oatmeal) crumb: raw oats + milk or yogurt, no cooking Joy of Cooking includes “Muesli (Swiss oatmeal)”. Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker and Ethan Becker wrote it (1997 All New edition). This book is the big American home cookbook. It covers baking, roasting, canning and everyday family meals across a century of editions. Differences: Both serve raw rolled oats with milk or yogurt instead of cooked porridge. The online version stirs oats with milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener and vanilla in a jar. It chills the jar overnight, and the oats soften into a pudding. It then adds flavor toppings like PB&J, apple pie or Nutella. The chia and the long soak make it thicker and sweeter than Joy's muesli. |
