Cindy Bircher Muesli Makes My Day
March 26th 2008 00:14
Ever get that pang of regret when you realise that there's been this wonderful thing in existence and you (slow coach) have only just found out about it?
I had that with bircher muesli last week. Why did no one tell me that this sloppy muesli was better than the dry stuff? I've never been a big one for breakfast as a meal, but when I did I left my muesli to go soggy in soy milk for half an hour. Um, why not just have bircher style muesli??
I've bought an all-natural brand - no colours or preservatives - but a homemade version is easy to make!
Bircher Muesli
What you need:
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup apple juice
1 cup plain yoghurt
1/4 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup raisins
1/8 cup slivered almonds
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp ground cinnamon
What to do:
Combine all ingredients in a big bowl, cover and chill in the fridge for at least two hours. You can store this to eat over a few days.
For variation, try adding fresh fruit, other dried fruits, pumpkin seeds and nuts, orange juice...the possibilities are endless.
