[Scotty H]Bircher Müesli with figs, apple & almonds

Scotty H has posted a new item, 'Bircher Müesli with figs, apple & almonds'

This is a real power breakfast and perfect for those with stressful morning as most of the preparation is done the night before. While I prefer a steaming bowl of porridge during the colder months, this is a real treat for summer. It keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days so you can make a bigger batch and save even more time.

2 servings

To prepare the night before:

1 c rolled oats

¾ c apple juice

¾ c soymilk

2 dried figs – finely chopped

½ tsp cinnamon

pinch allspice

In the morning:

½ grated apple

roasted, unsalted almonds

natural yoghurt

honey (if a sweetener is needed)

The night before: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, apple juice, soy milk, figs and spices. Make sure that the oats are completely covered. Cover and refrigerate over night.

In the morning: grate the apple and mix into the soaked oats. Serve with a handful of almonds and natural yoghurt. Sweeten with honey if required

Tip: It is also a great solution for days away from home. I travel a lot with work and usually bring a container of Bircher Muesli with me to the hotel.
