I haven't had Bircher Muesli since I was a kid. It was invented by a Swiss health expert in the early 1900s. The kind I remember came in a box like regular cereal, but with dried apple, not fresh. I loved the boxed kind, freshly made is even better! (Overnight soaking time is not included in the prep.)

Ingredients For bircher muesli

  • 1/2 c
    rolled oats
  • 2 Tbsp
    chopped dried apricot

    apples, your favorite eating apple
  • 1 Tbsp
    milk
  • 2 Tbsp
    almonds, roughly chopped

    yogurt, favorite kind
  • honey, to drizzle on top, optional

How To Make bircher muesli

  • 1
    Soak the oats and dried fruit in the apple juice overnight.
  • 2
    Core and roughly grate the apple. Or chop it very finely. Divide soaked oats into two bowls.
