I find oats give me heartburn. What can I substitute that would not need cooking?

Megan Edwards

Hi Cathy, Your best bet is to just omit the oats and increase the amount of puffed cereal and cereal flakes instead. Alternatively, you could toast some millet to replace the oats, but probably halve the amount the recipe calls for so the millet doesn't overpower the taste of the mixture. Let us know what you end up trying!

Steve

The oatmeal is not cooked? Is this supposed to soak overnight?

Megan Edwards

Hi Steve, Museli is a European-style dish that combines whole grains, nuts, dried fruit, and seeds and is eaten like dry cereal with plant-based milk or yogurt. Think of it like granola where you pour it onto your creamy base of choice and enjoy! Let us know how it turns out for you.

Where does one get freeze-dried fruit?

Kara Warner

My local grocery stores carry it. It is in snack or baking aisle

I have also seen small bags of freeze dried fruit at Dollar Tree!!
