Apple Bircher Muesli

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Apple Bircher Muesli
Apples Autumn Barley Flakes Breakfast Malted Naked Oats Naked Oats oats Rye Flakes Vegetarian Wheat Flakes Wholegrains

by India Matthews October 18, 2024

India's autumnal bircher muesli is topped with with caramelised apples, coconut yoghurt and crushed almonds. This recipe uses our organic Four Grain Muesli Base, a nutritious, nutty and malty cereal blend of four delicious grains, all from British farms - rolled and jumbo oats, malted wheat, rye and barley flakes.

Bircher muesli was created around 1900 by Swiss physician and nutritionist Maximilian Bircher-Benner as a wholesome meal for his patients. Inspired by a dish he encountered while hiking in the Swiss Alps, Bircher's original recipe combined raw oats, grated apples, nuts, lemon juice, and condensed milk. He believed in the health benefits of a diet rich in raw foods and fibre.

Serves 2

Ingredients

Bircher
  • 1 Large Apple, coarsely grated
  • 100g Four Grain Muesli Base, Organic
  • 1 Lemon
  • 320ml of Almond Milk (or as desired)
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon (or as desired)
Caramelised Apples
  • 2 Apples
  • 2 tbsp of Honey
  • 1 ½ tbsp Coconut Oil or Butter
Toppings
  • 2 tbsp Desiccated Coconut
  • 100g Coconut or Dairy Yoghurt
  • 20g Almonds
  • A Few Sprigs of Mint

Method

  1. Start by making your bircher muesli. In a large bowl mix the grated apple, a squeeze of lemon, before stirring in the muesli base, cinnamon and milk. Cover and transfer to the fridge overnight.
  2. In the morning, give the mix a quick stir and add any extra milk if it seems a little thick.
  3. To make the caramelised apples, core the apples and cut them into equal wedges.
  4. Warm the coconut oil in a frying pan and add the apple slices. Cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, turning often to make sure they don’t burn.
  5. Once they are soft, add in the honey and cook for another 5 minutes until sticky and caramelised.
  6. Transfer your bircher muesli to a serving bowl and top with the caramelised apples and a dollop of yoghurt. Finish with preferred toppings!

Baked Flamingo Peas with Sage Salsa

March 31, 2026

This dish allows the leeks and peas to cook and soften together slowly, lending their flavours to each other. Cooking the peas slowly helps release their starch, giving the dish an overall creamier consistency. The salsa verde adds a great savoury tang. Author Eden Owen-Jones is an avid listener of the Home Cooking podcast with Samin Nosrat and Hrishikesh Hirway and there is only so many times she could hear Samin talk about this salsa without trying to make a version for herself – we think it works really nicely here.
