e2c recipe : Bircher Muesli

Now this isn't rocket science but i have had a few people ask me how it is made.

It's a mix of what i found on the www. and also adapted to how i like to eat it. Some places have bircher muesli on the menu and it is one big mooshed up mess… red, flabby berries and some places even put full fat cream in (YUCK)

So this is my own adaptation.

I normally make up 1/2 a packet of natural rolled oats at a time, which saves the hassle of mixing up a new batch every night. It keeps in the fridge for a long time in a sealed container.

Ok when i say 'hassle of mixing up a batch' i mean this : splash enough natural apple juice into your rolled oats until they are just covered. Pop the lid on your container and refrigerate overnight. That's it… so it really takes 1 minute the night before. No biggie!!

If you have forgotten to mix up a batch the night before, you can do it the morning of… and just give them a 2 minute zap in the microwave….

Once they have sat in the juice overnight (or zapped) they turn all mooshy, fluffy, melt in the mouth with a delicious zingy fresh flavour, but not at all gluggy or milky (which is what i don't like about normal breakfast cereals)

In the morning spoon out enough of the apple juice / muesli mix for your serving, add a few spoons of natural fat free yoghurt, a generous handful of mixed frozen berries, a dab of honey and a sprinkling of slivered almonds.

And that's it. A delicious, healthy and very filling breakfast. It's my favourite and i would love to hear if you enjoy it too.
