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!
