Did someone say peaches?! We LOVE the juiciness of a peach, as you bite into in and juice rolls down your face, your arm, and you can’t stop eating to even get yourself a napkin! Well, we can those delicious things for times throughout the year when we want a bite of summer. If you’ve never canned your own peaches, you should try it. They are like nothing you could ever buy in a store (post on this as soon as free-stone peaches are ripe)! Soon peach season will be here in full force. So we need to gobble up those delicious canned beauties before the new batch rolls in. We thought-hey, why not in a museli?! If you’re unfamiliar with the term museli, it refers to oats that are soaked, not cooked, in milk or juice. This dish can be made overnight or in as little as 30 minutes.
If you have fresh peaches, you can mash them up to create some juice, or throw one in a blender. Alternatively, you can use the juice of any fresh fruit for this. Have cherries, with some juice hanging in the bowl? Use that. Cut up watermelon, pineapple, or cantaloupe juice left over from slicing? Use that! Use whatever seasonal fresh fruit you have and its juice. You will love this!
This is easy to throw together in the morning on your rush out the door. Seriously, anyone can make this. Place oats and juice of choice into a mason jar. Top with fresh fruit, 2 tbsp of walnuts, seal and eat in 30 minutes! No cooking required! Fast, easy, healthy, and filling. Great for summer!
