BIRCHER MUESLI



Bircher Muesli image

Essentially oats soaked in fruit juice, or milk, with nuts and fruit, Bircher muesli has a long history, and enough versions floating around to prove it. The original was created in the early 1900s by Maximilian Bircher-Benner, a Swiss doctor. It consisted of oats, grated apple, nuts, lemon and condensed milk and honey, but over time, people have gotten creative with the formula. This version is a choose-your-own-adventure recipe that is great to make ahead in large or small batches. Some recipes call for apple juice or applesauce for moisture, but this version uses creamy Greek yogurt instead. Tahini adds richness, but substitute another nut butter or skip it all together if you'd rather. Swap out the nuts and dried fruit to suit your tastes and what you have. (Dates are especially nice.) Thin individual servings with more milk, if needed, then top with additional fresh fruit, nuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. It's cool, creamy, chewy and crunchy all at once.

ORIGINAL BIRCHERMUESLI (SWISS MUESLI)



Original Birchermuesli (Swiss Muesli) image

From "The Swiss Cookbook". The author says that it is supposed to be served as a breakfast or supper--not dessert--and that it "is a throwback to the old Swiss country habit of eating a cereal gruel with fruit and milk for supper because these were the foods on hand." She says that whole-wheat and other dark breads with butter are usually served with it. I haven't tried it yet. This is for one serving. Overnight standing time is not included. However, this can soak for only 30 minutes and still be great (even with old-fahioned oats).

Categories     Breakfast

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons uncooked oatmeal
3 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk (or honey)
1 large apple (unpeeled)
2 tablespoons chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Soak the oatmeal in the cold water until soft--like overnight -- or for 30-40 minutes at a minimum.
  • At serving time, stir in the lemon juice and condensed milk. Grate the apple directly into the muesli. Sprinkle with nuts.
  • NOTES: amount of water depends on kind of oatmeal used. Also, tho while instant oats don't have to be soaked as long, it's better if it's allowed to stand for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality rolled oats, such as organic or whole grain oats. Avoid instant oats, as they will not give you the same texture or flavor.
  • For a creamier birchermüesli, use full-fat milk or yogurt. You can also use a combination of milk and yogurt.
  • If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use orange juice or apple cider vinegar instead.
  • Add your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds to taste. Some popular additions include berries, bananas, apples, almonds, walnuts, and chia seeds.
  • Birchermüesli can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great breakfast option for busy mornings.

Conclusion:

Birchermüesli is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. It is a great way to start your day with a nutritious and satisfying meal. Birchermüesli is also a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and iron. So, if you are looking for a healthy and delicious breakfast option, birchermüesli is a great choice. It is easy to make, customizable, and packed with nutrients.
