I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Bircher Muesli

I thought I would share my absolute favourite Bircher muesli recipe. I originally got this recipe from the Fresh TV cooking show, and it's been a Sunday morning regular for several years now :-)


Bircher Muesli
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup seeded prunes, roughly chopped
1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sultanas or raisins
300ml orange juice
1 cup apricot-flavoured yoghurt
2 tbs honey
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup wheatgerm
1/4 cup flaked almonds
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
2 tbs sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1. Combine oats, dried fruits, juice, milk, yoghurt, honey, coconut and wheatgerm in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or for up to 3 days.

2. Stir through nuts and seeds before serving. Serve with plain yoghurt and fresh fruit. Makes 10-12 generous servings.

I hope the shoulder muscle's feeling much better. Glad to see you posting again.
This museli sounds very yummy!:)
I didn't realise you could store such a museli in the fridge for up to 3 days. That will certainly help with meal preparation times here. Thanks!

Ever since you first posted about the muesli (quite a while back, I think), I have been making it again! Thanks for reminding me what lovely breakfasts can be had. :)

I haven't made Bircher muesli in ages, this variation sounds quite yummy. Something for me to try next week instead of porridge.
take care

That sounds fantastic. I need to make muesli more often. I've never used prunes, but it sounds like a good addition.
