Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Apple: Wash the apple thoroughly, then grate it with the skin on. Add the grated apple to the oatmeal mixture.
- Pear: Wash the pear, and similar to the apple, grate it with the skin on. Add the grated pear to the mixture.
- Blueberries: Wash and add the blueberries to the mixture.
- Almonds: Roughly chop the almonds and add them in as well. Stir everything together to evenly distribute the fruits and nuts.
Tips:
- Soaking Time: For optimal texture and flavor, prepare the muesli the night before and let it soak in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the oats to fully absorb the liquids and soften.
- Fresh Fruits: Feel free to substitute the apple and pear with other fresh fruits like bananas, strawberries, or mangoes to vary the taste and nutritional profile.
- Serving Suggestions: Top your muesli with additional fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor and texture. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
- Dietary Adjustments: Adjust the ingredients to fit your dietary needs. Use gluten-free oats if necessary, and swap the almond milk with other plant-based options like soy or oat milk.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before serving, as the mixture may thicken over time.
Swiss Bircher muesli is not only a healthful and balanced meal but also a versatile one that can be easily customized to suit your preferences. With its delightful combination of oats, fruits, and nuts, it is sure to become a staple in your breakfast routine. Whether you enjoy it freshly made or after letting it soak overnight, this nutrient-rich dish is a wonderful way to fuel your body.
