This has become such a popular part of Christmas brunch my nephews come running in the door each year, yelling, “Is there bircher muesli?”
1 cup wholegrain oats
2 cups rolled oats
1½ cups Greek yoghurt (plus extra to serve if desired, I used Piako natural)
1 cup milk
2 cups natural apple juice (I used cold-pressed raw apple juice)
1 cup flaked almonds, toasted
½ cup pistachios, toasted
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
3 green apples, grated (peeling is optional – I do)
Parline, to garnish
In a large bowl or container mix together the oats, yoghurt, milk and apple juice and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight.
Reserve a few of the nuts and berries for garnish, then add the rest to the oat mixture along with the grated apple, and an extra splash of milk or juice, if necessary, to achieve the consistency you like.
Serve in a large bowl, sprinkled with the reserved berries, nuts and praline, for guests to help themselves.
Serves 8 as part of a buffet breakfast
