Questions about Alpen cereal
Do you need to cook Alpen cereal?
No. Eat it straight from the packet with milk, yoghurt or a plant-based alternative. If you prefer it warm, heat it gently with milk in a saucepan, stirring, until just hot; boiling can make the flakes mushy.
How do you soften Alpen cereal overnight?
Stir it into milk or yoghurt, cover and chill overnight. The flakes soften and the dried fruit plumps up; add a splash more milk in the morning if it has absorbed too much.
How much Alpen cereal is a usual serving?
A portion of about 55 g is a useful starting point; weigh it once, then you can judge the amount by eye. That provides 194 kcal.
What goes well with Alpen cereal?
Try it with plain yoghurt and fresh berries, or add sliced banana and a spoonful of seeds. Its dried fruit and nutty flavour also works well with grated apple and a little cinnamon.
How should you store Alpen cereal after opening?
Close the inner bag tightly or transfer the cereal to an airtight container, then keep it in a cool, dry cupboard. Use a dry spoon so moisture does not soften the flakes.
Does Alpen cereal contain gluten, nuts or milk?
Common Alpen muesli recipes contain wheat, nuts and milk ingredients, so they are not suitable for people avoiding those allergens. Recipes differ between varieties, so check the ingredient and allergen information on the packet you have.
Is Alpen cereal more like muesli or porridge oats?
It is muesli: the flakes are mixed with dried fruit and, in many varieties, nuts and other ingredients. Unlike porridge oats, it is usually eaten without cooking.
