Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams rolled oats
- 180 milliliters milk
- 240 grams plain yogurt
- 1 medium (grated) apple
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 100 grams fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries)
- 30 grams chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)
- 30 grams optional dried fruits (e.g., raisins or cranberries)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Stir well and allow the oats to soak for at least 5 minutes or until softened.
While the oats are soaking, grate the apple using a box grater. Leave the skin on for added nutrition if desired.
Add the grated apple to the bowl of soaked oats and mix in the lemon juice to keep the apple from browning.
Stir in the plain yogurt and honey or maple syrup until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the fresh berries, chopped nuts, and optional dried fruits if using.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
Divide the Bircher Müesli into four serving bowls. If not eating immediately, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Serve cold, optionally garnished with extra fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
