Bircher muesli

[wonderingwondering]

Any tips on how to make it, please? So I mix oats (will any do?), dried fruit, grated apple, soak in apple juice overnight. Do I add yoghurt to serve? Or will the apple juice curdle it? Will also add honey, possibly mashed banana, to serve.

Does that sound OK?

I ate this in facny hotel recently and it was so delish I am going to make it at home. I saw a recipe in a mag - it only added a small amount of apple juice, plus the oats and fruit, and the main added ingredient was yohgurt. Then you leave it all overnight.

It's the yoghurt that makes it go all creamy and soft, no?

(Haven't yet tried it mysefl)

This is what I can't work out - I thought you soaked it in yoghurt overnight, but the recipes say milk or apple juice to soak, but when I've had it in hotels, it def has yoghurt in it. Buy perhaps you can soak it in yoghurt?

I may have to experiment.

The recipe I saw was def soak in the yoghurt too.

hmm. I have searche d online. It seems your first thought might be right. Soak in apple/lemon juice for a few hours or overnight or soak in the yoghurt/cream.

Let me know how you get on.

Right. The ingredients are arriving tomorrow evening (bless Ocado), I shall soak in apple juice overnight and report back Tuesday

soak in apple juice overnight THEN add grated apple or pear,any chopped fruit and nuts and yogurt.
My fav is papaya as it goes all mushy.

I soaked oats, cranberries and sultanas in apple juice overnight, added grated apple, yoghurt, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and walnut pieces. It definitely needed the yoghurt, it was a bit sawdusty without! And a dollop of honey made it much nicer.

It was OK, but a touch bland for everyday. I think I'm going to stew some dried fruit to have with it, the syrup from the fruit should sweeten it and make it a bit more interesting.

I think the one I ate in a hotel was made withj cream rather than yoghurt

My MIL (swiss) used to make it with full cream milk. Hugely calorific, but delicious
