Original Bircher Muesli

1 serving

Ingredients

• 1 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.
