Bircher Muesli

The original muesli recipe is a mixture of raw foods developed around the turn of the 20th century by a Swiss physician named Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Benner. Dr. Bircher went against accepted medical practice of thoroughly cooked food being the healthiest to introduce a small bowl full of rolled oats and raw apple before most meals. In modern times, this is now acceptable, but back then he had doctors walking out of his talks to show their disapproval.
 
Makes one portion of Bircher Muesli.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:
 

• 1 Tablespoon rolled oats
• 2 Tablespoon water or apple juice
• 1 Tablespoon sweetened condensed milk/yoghurt
• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• 2 small or 1 large apple, grated with the skin
• 6 hazelnuts or almonds, chopped

Preparation:

Soak the oats overnight in water or apple juice! If you forget to soak, they can be left for 15 minutes, but will not taste as creamy! Add the grated apple and chopped nuts, squeeze on the lemon juice and add a dollop of yoghurt.

Experiment with other toppings and mixing other grains with your oats for variety!
