Midwestern Bircher Muesli
Ingredients
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 Tablespoons buckwheat groats
2 Tablespoons whole teff grain
1/3 cup roughly chopped almonds
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 large apple (our favorite is Gala)
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (or plant based yogurt to make it vegan)
1/4 cup milk of your choice (optional)
To Serve
lemon & fresh fruit
Method
-
Mix all the dry ingredients in medium sized bowl
-
Wash and grate the apple (don’t peel it) on a plate to save the juice
-
Add grated apple, it’s juice and yogurt to the bowl with the dry ingredients and thoroughly mix until everything is coated. If it looks a little dry add another scoop of yogurt or the milk
-
Let it sit in the fridge overnight. To serve, add a squeeze of lemon and fresh fruit.
Note: coating the buckwheat groats and sunflower seeds begins the sprouting process! And the lemon the next morning helps brighten up the flavor; don’t skip this step :)
2-3 servings, keep in fridge and consume within 3 days
