Instructions

Homemade Muesli

Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Keep in a large storage jar until needed.

Bircher Muesli

Weigh out the muesli into an airtight container then stir in the milk, yoghurt and grated apple.
Place a tight fitting lid over the top then rest in the fridge overnight to soak.
Transfer the bircher muesli to a breakfast bowl, stir well then serve with the berries sprinkled over the top.

Notes

You can swap the dried fruit, nuts and seeds however you see fit. Do keep the quantities of each the same so it doesn’t affect the balance of sweetness and crunch.
Be wary of adjusting the quantities of the ground almonds and flaxseed or adding chia seeds though as this will affect how the muesli absorbs the liquid overnight.
You can use your favourite plant milk (or even dairy milk if you prefer). I also really like oat milk in this recipe and also 50% almond and 50% coconut milk.
You can swap the natural coconut yoghurt for a vanilla flavoured coconut yoghurt which is so delicious.
I recommend using granny smiths for the apple but I have used jazz apples and pink ladies which are delicious too – maybe a little sweeter.
The weight of the apple I usually use is 125g.
I also prefer to peel my apple as I don’t like the reedy texture of apple peel but that is up to you – obviously this is more faff.

Ingredient measurements

Please note when you see ‘grams’ listed as opposed to ‘millilitres,’ or any other term of measurement, that is not incorrect. I weigh all of my ingredients, including liquids, for accuracy.
US customary measurements for the ingredients provided are based on a conversion calculator. This recipe was tested with metric measurements and I recommend using a digital scale to weigh ingredients for the most accurate results. READ MORE >>> Why you should always weigh vs measuring with cups
