Overnight Muesli

This is from The Pioneer Woman's Come and Get it! cookbook. It is delicious - probably because it's made with whole milk and a bit of half & half or cream! :) I have only tried it made this way, but you could certainly try using a lighter milk and/or skipping the cream.

Overnight Meusli

1/3 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp. flax seed (or 1/2 tsp ground flax seed)
1 1/2 tsp. chia seeds
1 heaping T. sweetened coconut
2 T. fruit - diced apple, golden raisins, diced strawberries, etc.
1 T. brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 c. whole milk
1-2 T. half & half or heavy cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
chopped nuts, optional

In a 1/2 pint canning jar, or similar sized plastic container with a tight lid, layer the oats through the brown sugar. Pour in the milk, cream, and vanilla. Put the lid on and gently shake. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours. Add nuts and extra milk to serve, if desired.
