Bircher muesli

Bircher muesli
Preparation Time 5 minutes
Ingredients (serves 2)
* 1 gala apple, unpeeled, quartered, core removed
* 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
* 1/2 cup (125ml) apple juice
* 1/2 cup (130g) fat-free natural yoghurt, plus extra to serve
* Large pinch ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup (25g) flaked almonds
* 1/4 cup (30g) walnuts
* 2 tbs pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
* Blueberries, to serve


Method
1. Coarsely grate the apple. Mix the grated apple, rolled oats, apple juice, yoghurt and cinnamon in a bowl until well combined. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
2. Combine the flaked almonds, walnuts and pepitas in a small bowl.
3. Stir half the nut mixture through the muesli with 1/2 cup of yoghurt if the muesli has been soaking overnight. (If the muesli has been soaking for 1 hour, add a little extra yoghurt only as desired.) Top with the remaining nut mixture and blueberries to serve.

Notes & tips
* Tip: Adapt this recipe to suit your tastes or whatever you have lurking in the pantry. Replace the apple juice with orange or pineapple juice, milk or soy milk for a non-dairy alternative. Add some toasted shredded coconut, diced dried apricot or currants.
* prep: 5 mins (+1 hour or overnight soaking).
