If you use Greek yogurt like I did, you may need to use a bit more than the recipe calls for as it is pastier than regular yogurt. My batch was REALLY thick!

My rating is for the recipe as written, because it's a sound recipe that produces good results, but as a muesli lover, this recipe and I have some differences. The oats lend a milky richness to the liquid in which they're soaked; using milk actually makes this too rich for my tastes, and that's even before adding the yogurt. I go the traditional route instead: soak the oats and nuts (almonds for me, no cinnamon) in orange juice - even using water with a tablespoon of honey is delicious - and serve with fresh fruit and a dollop of yogurt. Dried fruit certainly adds to the convenience factor, but using fresh fruit instead REALLY makes this something special.

I have been looking for ways to take my protein powder, and got stuck putting it in oatmeal every morning. I added some to this recipe and am very impressed! I've never tried muesli, but will put it into my breakfast rotation for sure. This recipe was surprisingly sweet enough as is. I think another dash of cinnamon in the morning couldn't hurt, though.

3.5 stars, without changes. Five stars for health, without changes. :) I added the orange juice like the recipe submitter suggested, but it didn't take away the tang of the yogurt, so I added about 2 tsp. honey and it is perfect. As another reviewer suggested, vanilla yogurt would work well, but to keep the sugar content down a little, I would use half vanilla yogurt and half plain yogurt. This recipe works really well with any fruit, dried or fresh. I put peaches in it and left out the walnuts due to an allergy. Thank you for a quick and healthy breakfast! (one more *little* :) change I made: fat free yogurt. I couldn't tell a difference, it was so creamy.)

Really good. I was expecting to have to add sweetener but none was needed. Very creamy and filling. I added in dried blueberries and apples rather than the raisins and apricots. The fruit really adds a lot of flavor and sweetness. I also used home made 2% yogurt and 1% milk but the preparation method makes this creamy enough that it had a whole milk quality to it. I will make this often, especially since it's so convenient and quick to make.

Yum, yum, yum! This was my first time trying muesli, and I am impressed. Tomorrow morning will be the fourth morning in a row I have muesli. I altered the recipe based on the grains, nuts, and fruit I have on hand. This is truly spectacular. I love the yogurt!

Very good idea of soaking oats in yogurt instead of milk. I used strawberry-flavored yogurt and added dried blueberries and assorted nuts. Healthy and yummy. Thanks =)

I just recently went to Brooylyn, NY and gave meusli a try at a cafe. I immediatly fell in love with this breakfast. When I came home I seached AR and found tried this one. I use whatever dried fruit I have on hand and add whatever fresh fruit I have on hand in the morning. So good and is a better option for hot oatmeal here in the Phoenix summers!

What a yummy change for breakfast! I now make these every so often the night before in tupperware, leave them in the fridge and they are perfect to just add the milk to in the morning. Experiment with this recipe too...very yummy with different types of fruit, different types of yogurt, etc. Lots of options for this one. Thanks for the breakfast suggestion...it's nice to start the day off with a change.

This is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. I omitted the dried fruits and nuts and added fresh peaches instead, just a preference. I also added splenda.
