anyone have their "tried and good" recipe for breakfast cereal however don't want the oven on for ages to dry it out!
Here is an interesting link to Dr Bircher-Benner and a recipe, slightly updated, based on his original one - which was only later called 'muesli'.

Here is a recipe for a modern, nutritious version of the popular creamy cereal known as birchermuesli. Serves 1.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons chopped dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, mango, apple, pineapple)
2 tablespoons chopped raw nuts (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts)
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon raw cane sugar or honey, optional
2/3 cup water
milk, soymilk, plain or fruit yogurt, or kefir
Combine the first 7 ingredients (oats through water) in a large cereal bowl. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to allow grains and fruit to soften. Remove from refrigerator, stir, and serve cold, blending in milk, soymilk, yogurt, or kefir. Also wonderful topped with fresh seasonal berries or a raw grated apple.
