I think I’ve told you before dear readers in this post, that I just ‘don’t do’ lumpy, hot porridge, but Bircher Muesli is a different proposition altogether! I’m not good at ‘breakfast eating’, but I’m trying to get better..

I enjoy this breakfast so much and it keeps you nicely filled up for hours and hours….

3 tbsp rolled oats, soaked overnight in 4 tbsp of either water, milk or apple juice

to this, add 1 heaped tablespoon of plain yoghurt

1 grated apple

1 tbsp peanut butter

flaked almonds and walnuts, chopped

Ground flaxseed (about 1 level tbsp)

raw cocoa nibs and bee pollen to taste (a sprinkle of each)

1 tbsp of honey, maple syrup or rice malt syrup.

If I don’t use peanut butter, I also add a measure (as instructed on the tin) of flavourless protein powder and extra nuts, equally delicious!

Have I told you that raw cocoa nibs are my new favourite thing? Scrummy! And feel free to change this recipe up – it’s really just a template…add chopped banana, dried fruit, fresh fruit, seeds, wheatgerm, condensed milk as the sweetener….the possibilities are endless!

Do try this and let me know how you get on. Oh and before you go, do check out my updated post (new photographs!) on my Mum’s Cypriot semolina cake.
