LOW-FAT BIRCHER MUESLI



Low-Fat Bircher Muesli image

Though there are a few muesli recipes on this site, this one is unique in its inclusion of wheat germ. This recipe mixes up a big batch that can be stored in an airtight container for a month or so. Though the original recipe comes from fatfree.com, this one has been adapted a bit to suit my tastes.

Time 5m

Yield 3 cups, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup currants or 1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients together and store in an air tight container.
  • For breakfast combine 1/4 cup of the muesli mix with 1/4 cup of water and let soak for 30 minutes. Serve with 1 cup of yogurt and chopped fruit. Diced apples strawberries, bananas and blueberries all work well.
  • 9/14 update: After reading the reviewer comments, I'm changing the directions to a 1:1 ratio of muesli and water. While the 2:1 worked well for me, my oatmeal is an organic super grainy type that may not represent the typical grain. Thank you Paula and Amis for the helpful feedback.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts ensures that your Bircher Muesli is packed with nutrients and flavors.
  • Control the sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preference. Alternatively, consider using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
  • Prep in advance: Overnight soaking softens the oats and allows the flavors to meld. If you're short on time, soak the oats for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Customize to dietary needs: Make it gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats. For a vegan version, replace the yogurt with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Experiment with toppings: Enhance your Bircher Muesli with a variety of toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, or chia seeds. You can also drizzle some nut butter or agave syrup for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Bircher Muesli is a healthy and satisfying breakfast option that can be enjoyed all year round. With its versatility and customization possibilities, it's a great way to start your day with a nutritious and delicious meal. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or a more customized version, Bircher Muesli is a delicious and convenient choice for a healthy and balanced breakfast.
