Bircher muesli

I like Bircher muesli when I go to hotels, but hadn't tried it at home.  I bought a box of pre-mixed stuff from the supermarket, and it was OK soaked overnight with milk and the next morning mixed with grated apple and yoghurt, but many internet sites that mention Bircher say it is best when home made.  So, this is my attempt.  I chose to add a bit of everything I like in a muesli.

Bircher Muesli

500 g fine rolled oats (e.g., Uncle Tobys Milk Oaties)
575 g rolled oats
250 g shredded coconut
150 g dried cranberries
100 g sunflower seeds
125 g pumpkin seeds
400 g sultanas
400 g pitted dates, roughly chopped
70 g hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
100 g linseed
100 g raisins
60 g sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1 tbs ground cinnamon

Mix all of the above in a large bowl and store in an airtight container. This amount made about 6 L of Bircher muesli.


The night before, mix half a cup of Bircher muesli with half a cup of milk, cover and store in the fridge overnight. The next morning, mix in one grated apple (or any fruit of your choice) and about half a cup of yoghurt. Enjoy!
