Swiss bircher muesli

Swiss Bircher muesli is a nutritious and delicious breakfast option that's packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Originally developed by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner, this recipe combines oats, fruits, nuts, and liquids to create a wholesome and refreshing dish. Ideal for kickstarting your day or as a healthy snack, it’s a versatile and easy-to-make meal.

Ingredients:

4 cups multi-grain oatmeal
320g
2 cups almond milk
480g
2 cups apple juice
500g
1 tsp cinnamon
2.60g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2.20g
1 apple
220g
1 pear
230g
1/4 cup blueberries
36g
1/4 cup almonds
27g

Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the multi-grain oatmeal, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
2. Add Liquids: Pour in the almond milk and apple juice. Stir until all the oatmeal is moistened and the mixture is well blended.
3. Prepare Fresh Fruits:
- 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.
4. Combine Fruits: Gently fold in the grated apple and pear until they are well incorporated into the oatmeal base.
5. Mix in Blueberries and Almonds:
- 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.
6. Rest and Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. This will allow the oatmeal to soften and the flavors to meld together.
7. Serving: In the morning, give the muesli a good stir before serving. You can top it with additional fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
8. Store Leftovers: Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Ensure it's covered to maintain freshness.

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.
