What is Bircher Muesli <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recipe for Bircher muesli was invented by a Swiss doctor named Maximillian Bircher<\/strong>-Benner around the early 1900s. He encouraged his elderly patients to eat raw fruits to cure aliments and illnesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to my google research including Wikipedia, Bircher-Benner was inspired by a meal he and his wife ate while hiking the Swiss Alps, he developed his own recipe that included lots of fresh apples, some oats, lemon juice, nuts, cream and honey. He served this to his patients as a healthy appetizer before meals. Maybe this is where the quote ” an apple a day keeps the doctor away<\/em><\/strong>” comes from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muesli in its basic form is uncooked granola essentially, a combination of oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Bircher muesli has the same ingredients as traditional muesli, but it’s softened by soaking the rolled oats in milk or grated apples, ground seeds, nuts and dried fruit preferably overnight. There are many variations to bircher muesli some recipes add yogurt while others use lemon juice, milk or cream, in fact the original had condensed milk. One of the reason why I love this recipe is for it\u2019s versatility! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe makes a soft, nutritious breakfast porridge with rolled oats, dried unsweetened cranberries, chopped nuts, ground flaxseeds, grated apple, almond milk, Greek yoghurt and a couple of spices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
