Original Bircher Muesli
1 serving
Muesli was developed as a health food by the Swiss Physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner towards the end of the 19th century. This is the original muesli recipe Mr Bircher-Benner recommended to his patients.
Ingredients1 tbsp rolled oats
3 tbsp water
1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp lemon juice
1-2 apples (including skin)
1 tbsp hazelnuts or almonds, ground
Directions
Combine oats and water and refrigerate overnight. Soaking improves the nutritional value of oats as it allows enzymes to break down and neutralize phytic acid, a compound that can block the absorption of many minerals in the intestines. Grate apples. Add them, together with sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice, to soaked oats. Stir well. Sprinkle with almonds or hazelnuts and serve.
