Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats, fine-cut (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup sultanas (golden raisins) (35 g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flaxseeds)
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated almonds (alternatively hazelnuts or walnuts)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (Ceylon)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 300 ml unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., coconut rice milk)
  • 250 g Greek yogurt or Skyr (1 cup)
  • 1 small apple (e.g., Wellant), peeled and grated

Method

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the rolled oats, sultanas, chia seeds, chopped almonds, shredded coconut (if using), and cinnamon. Stir well.

  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk, Greek yogurt (or Skyr), and grated apple. Add maple syrup or honey if you’d like it sweeter. Stir until fully combined.

  3. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to let the oats absorb the liquid and soften.

  4. Serve: Divide into bowls and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Bircher Muesli stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, keep in mind that the texture will become softer the longer it sits. For the best consistency, enjoy it within the first couple of days.
