Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free, organic preferably
  • 2-3 Tbsp ground flaxseeds (organic)
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecan, pistachio) (use one or two)
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened dried fruit (cranberry, cherries, dates, or raisins)
  • 2 Tbsp shredded coconut flakes (optional)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • small pinch of salt (optional)

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple or pear, grated
  • 1 cup fresh berries or sliced seasonal fruit (for garnish)

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾-1 cup non dairy or dairy milk (almond milk recommended)
  • ½ cup plant-based, regular whole or Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Optional

  • Sweetener of your choice, if you prefer a sweeter muesli

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir together the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruit, ground flaxseeds, ground cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Then add the grated apple or pear and mix well to combine all dry and fresh ingredients evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk, yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture will provide the creamy base to soak the oats and dry ingredients.
  3. Combine and Refrigerate: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well incorporated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight to allow the oats and nuts to absorb the flavors and soften.
  4. Serve and Garnish: The following morning, check the consistency of your muesli. If it has thickened or dried out, add a little extra milk and stir. Serve topped with fresh berries, seasonal fruit, and additional seeds or nuts if desired. Enjoy your nourishing and delicious Birchers Muesli!
