History
Birchermuesli is originally a supper dish invented by Dr. Bircher in Zurich, Switzerland during the 1900's. Dr. Bircher believed in a whole foods diet composed of cereals, fruits and vegetables. The original birchermuesli recipe is composed of oats, water, evaporated milk, honey, lemon and apples. However, it is a recipe that can be altered to fit your taste.
As I have previously mentioned in other blog posts, oats are a great cereal as they are slow releasing carbohydrates which means they keep you fuller for longer. This recipe is also a great way to incorporate fruits into your diet. Fruits are best consumed in the morning before mid day so that your body can work off the natural sugars.
The recipe I use is one that was passed down to me from my Swiss-German Grandma.
Ingredients- serves 4
- 1 cup of oats
- 1 2/3 cups of milk
- 2-3 small apples grated
- 1-2 bananas sliced
- Juice of a lemon
- 1 cup of mixed fruits (fresh or dried) & nuts of your choice
- Yoghurt or cream can be added
- Honey to add to your taste
Method
- Place the oats, milk and fruit in a container and leave to soak overnight
- If the mixture is too solid add yogurt or cream to loosen the mixture
- Add honey to taste.
Enjoy with your favourite breakfast beverage of choice, mine being a mug of builders tea and a glass of refreshing fruit juice.
