After ordering a great bircher muesli a couple of weekends ago from Clipper Cafe in Glebe; I came home and googled “best bircher muesli recipe”. This returned quite a few responses from different recipe sites such as Taste, Allrecipes.com and bestrecipes.com. Jamie Oliver had a pukka one come up as did Gordon Ramsay. I took a look at most of the pages and started thinking what do I love about bircher? Well, I love its sogginess, non-dry texture and will tend to ask and add milk to get the consistency right. I love grated apple mixed through it although a rhubarb/strawberry compote has worked well too in the past. I love the crunch of nuts also mixed through bircher whether they’re roasted hazelnuts, almonds or pistachios. I love a drizzle of honey for natural sweetness. I don’t mind if there is a scattering of sunflower seeds or LSA stirred through either and I prefer the taste of thick greek yogurt as an added dollop to finish it off.
So with Saturday breakfast not too far off I thought I would enlighten you with what I think is the BEST bircher muesli ever and I have a confession to make; I have made and eaten this three times this week already. Mr ELG also scored it a perfect 10. It incorporates most of my loves noted above with some added extras and is super easy to make the night before and whip together within minutes the moment you wake up. The result is a deliciously scrumptious, textured, slightly tart and yet ever so sweet wholesome breakfast to eat that makes you crave for more as soon as you have eaten the last spoonful and feel good about yourself at the same time!
Ingredients:
2 cups of rolled oats
Juice from 2 lemons
1 cup of water
2 handfuls of almonds – lightly roasted and chopped
1/2 granny smith apple – grated
6 dried apricots – diced
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon per person
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg per person
2-3 Tablespoons thick greek/natural yoghurt per person
Start this recipe the night before. Mix together oats, lemon juice and water. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Per person, spoon 2-3 large tablespoons of the soaked oats into separate bowls. Divide all ingredients equally and place on top of the oats (reserving some of the grated apple) and mix ingredients together so they’re just combined. Garnish with remaining apple, eat, hopefully love and enjoy!

My kids made this for me for mother’s day. It was absolutely disgusting and totally inedible. Too much lemon juice surely the juice from half a lemon would be more appropriate.

Thanks for your feedback. I do have quite a liking for citrus flavours and from memory used very small lemons when I first made this recipe; therefore not a lot of juice came out. I hope you otherwise had a lovely mother’s day.

I’m going through a similar process trying to find the “perfect” recipe for my other half, and I just love the way you’ve approached this. I don’t know if I’ll follow this to the T, but it’s certainly made me think.
(Other commenter should be grateful really, I made my mum a breakfast of cold coffee, as I wasn’t allowed to boil the kettle, and a mixture of yogurt, green cherry tomatoes, and homemade beetroot…)
