The River Studio Muesli…

Loosely based on the original Bircher-Benner recipe but with a few changes along the way.

I used to make this in bulk and soak the portion for the following morning overnight in freshly squeezed orange juice, adding half a freshly grated apple and natural yoghurt before eating.

I think I was given the recipe back in the Ashram days of the 90s and have adapted it for simplicity along the way without compromising the tastiness…

6 cups organic rolled oats (600g packet)

2 cups whole raw organic almonds

2 cups whole raw organic cashews

1 cup organic pepitas

1 cup organic pumpkin seeds

½ cup chopped dried organic dates/apricots or cranberries

½ cup organic raisins

2 cups shaved organic coconut, untoasted

Mix together and store in a sealed container.

If you want the real Bircher Muesli experience, soak ½ cup of the muesli mixture overnight in freshly squeezed orange juice. Serve with ½ freshly grated apple and a spoonful of natural organic yoghurt mixed in. It really is fabulous.

For a simpler version, soak as above and omit the grated apple… still very tasty!
