Ingredients
Bircher muesli base
- 180 g Oats
- 20 g Chia seeds
- 20 g Ginger root (finely grated)
- 340 ml Almond milk
- 340 ml Coconut yogurt (or other plant milk yogurt)
Add-ins
- 80 g Hemp seeds - shelled
- 60 g Raisin
- 2 each Apple - green (Peel and coarsely grate )
Seasonings
- ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- ¼ each Lemon (Zest and juice to taste )
- 20 ml Honey (or maple syrup)
Toppings
- 1 each Apple (diced)
Method
Prepare the base
- Weigh all ingredients accurately. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, finely grated ginger, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Stir to distribute evenly before adding any liquid.
Add liquids and fruit
- Pour in the almond milk and coconut yogurt. Add the grated apple, raisins, shelled hemp seeds, lemon juice, and honey. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and the oats are fully coated.
Hydration check
- Allow the mixture to rest for 3–5 minutes, then stir again to redistribute the oats and chia seeds as they begin to absorb the liquid. Repeat once more after another few minutes. This step ensures even hydration and a consistent texture.
Soak
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, until the oats are fully softened and the mixture is creamy and cohesive.
Serve
- Spoon the bircher muesli into serving bowls. Top with diced apple and, extra hemp seeds and raisins.
Finish
- Drizzle lightly with additional honey if needed and add a final touch of fresh lemon zest just before serving.
Recipe Notes
Texture control
- The consistency will thicken as the oats and chia hydrate. If the bircher feels too firm after soaking, loosen it with a splash of almond milk and stir well before serving.
- A crisp, slightly tart green apple keeps the muesli fresh and balanced. Softer or sweeter apples can make the mix overly sweet and muted in flavour.
- Add some chopped nuts on top for extra garnish and crunch.
