Overnight Oatmeal (Muesli) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup old fashioned oats
    3/4 cup soymilk (vanilla is esp. good) or 3/4 cup other non-dairy milk substitute (vanilla is esp. good)
    1 -2 tablespoon raisins (more or less, according to your preference)
    1/2 teaspoon orange zest, finely grated
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 -3 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds (if you like them, adds a delicious crunch) or 2 -3 tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds (if you like them, adds a delicious crunch)
    1 small granny smith apples or 1/2 large granny smith apple, chopped
    Optional
    other dried fruit or nuts, of your choice
Preparation
    Combine all ingredients EXCEPT SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND APPLE in a bowl.
    Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.
    In the morning, chop the apple and stir it in with the seeds (or any others you prefer). Enjoy!
    Notes: You can play a bit with the amount of soymilk in this recipe, since some like it super-thick. If you want it slightly moister, use the 3/4 cup. Or you might want even more.
    I know, getting out the grater for 1/2 tsp orange zest -- but it is so worth it!
    Have fun!
