I was very sceptical when my mom first served me Bircher-Muesli for breakfast during my Kindergarden years. Rohkost (raw food) wasn't a common thing in the early 80s but she insisted and I grew to love it.
Whilst the simplicity of overnight oats, combined with a grated apple and milk (of your choice) is unbeatable, this recipe with Chai flavours works wonderfully for variation and makes breakfast almost taste like a dessert.
You can keep the oat mixture in the fridge for a couple of days. I find it actually tastes better after it has soaked for a while.
Health Benefits
A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cancer and other age-related diseases. Fruits are a source of fibre.
Oat products have been shown to help lower high blood cholesterol concentration (hypercholesterolemia) and thereby reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis. They are also a source of fibre and essential trace elements, especially whole oats.
INGREDIENTS
BIRCHER MUESLI
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other milk of choice
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp honey
METHOD
Add oats, milk, chia seeds, spices, vanilla and honey to glass jar and stir contents together. Secure lid and refrigerate overnight.
