LOW-FAT BIRCHER MUESLI

Though there are a few muesli recipes on this site, this one is unique in its inclusion of wheat germ. This recipe mixes up a big batch that can be stored in an airtight container for a month or so. Though the original recipe comes from fatfree.com, this one has been adapted a bit to suit my tastes.

Time 5m

Yield 3 cups, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup currants or 1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients together and store in an air tight container.
  • For breakfast combine 1/4 cup of the muesli mix with 1/4 cup of water and let soak for 30 minutes. Serve with 1 cup of yogurt and chopped fruit. Diced apples strawberries, bananas and blueberries all work well.
  • 9/14 update: After reading the reviewer comments, I'm changing the directions to a 1:1 ratio of muesli and water. While the 2:1 worked well for me, my oatmeal is an organic super grainy type that may not represent the typical grain. Thank you Paula and Amis for the helpful feedback.

My doctor gave me this with instructions to eat it every day, and it would lower my sugars, cholesterol, triglycerides, and kick start my weight loss. And he was right, all those things happened. Buy all these goodies as organic as you can, unsalted and unsweetened. When I make it, I leave out the nuts and raisins

Tips:

  • Choose rolled oats or steel-cut oats: These types of oats are less processed and have a lower glycemic index, which means they release energy more slowly and help keep you feeling full longer.
  • Use low-fat or skim milk: This will reduce the fat content of the muesli without sacrificing flavor.
  • Add fruits and nuts: Fruits and nuts are a great way to add flavor, sweetness, and nutrients to your muesli. Some popular choices include berries, bananas, apples, almonds, and walnuts.
  • Use spices and extracts: Spices and extracts can add a lot of flavor to your muesli. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  • Make it ahead of time: Muesli is a great make-ahead breakfast. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl or container and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, just add milk or yogurt and enjoy.
