There comes a time in every mans life when he begins to wonder, "what if I didnt eat cooked oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins for breakfast every day?" As excellent a dish as cooked oatmeal is in terms of nutrition, flavor, inspiring creativity (what if I added cinnamon?), staying power, and economics, it cant compete with cold breakfast cereal in terms of preparation time. (scoop oats, pour milk, cook for two whole minutes in the microwave?!, stir in sugar and raisins...its a good five minutes before we even get to the eating part!)
Fortunately, there is a way to combine the best parts of both oats and cold cereal. Enter müsli (or muesli or müesli). Raw oats are surprisingly edible, and mixing them with dried fruits, seeds, and nuts makes them even more so, without requiring the added sugar for cooked oatmeal (or granola, for that matter). Heres how we make a weeks worth of breakfasts in the five minutes it takes to prepare a single bowl of cooked oatmeal.

| Into a one-gallon jar, we add 3 cups whole rolled oats, 2 cups each of sunflower meats, raisins, sweetened shredded coconut, and chocolate chips, then another 2 cups oats. The exact ratios arent critical, nor is the ingredient list. But make sure to leave room for the scoop! Theres probably a strategic way to pour in the ingredients to optimize the different densities (material and bulk) for rapid and uniform mixing, but we dont know what it is. |

| Then we shake, rattle, and roll the jar until everything is mixed to our satisfaction, so weekday morning breakfasts are just pour-and-play. Make sure to take out the scoop while mixing, or itll get lost in there. |
