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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

While the oats are soaking, grate the apple using a box grater. Leave the skin on for added nutrition if desired.

Step 3

Add the grated apple to the bowl of soaked oats and mix in the lemon juice to keep the apple from browning.

Step 4

Stir in the plain yogurt and honey or maple syrup until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh berries, chopped nuts, and optional dried fruits if using.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup if desired.

Step 7

Divide the Bircher Müesli into four serving bowls. If not eating immediately, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Step 8

Serve cold, optionally garnished with extra fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
