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

Grate apples. Add them, together with sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice, to soaked oats. Stir well. Sprinkle with almonds or hazelnuts and serve.
