bountiful Bircher muesli with yoghurt, cinnamon & fresh apples

Name: bountiful Bircher muesli with yoghurt, cinnamon & fresh apples
Yield: 8 Servings
Ingredients: 2 cups traditional meusli cereal; 1 cup yoghurt; 1 1/2 cups milk; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 apple finely sliced into strips; optional, a handful of chopped nuts - walnuts, pecans, almonds; sprinkle of cinnamon; 1 cinnamon stick, cut in half

A lovely addition to breakfast or a brunch is hearty, healthy and satisfying. Many recipes just contain yoghurt, but I like to add a bit of milk to lighten the mixture.

Because muesli served with yoghurt can be quite filling, I recommend using small bowls to serve. My recipe uses apple as an ingredient, which is the more traditional flavor, but you can mix with any seasonal fruit – berry, peaches, apricots, pears, blueberries. Oh, and the cinnamon makes it just delicious!

thoughts&stories

Bircher muesli was created in 1900 by a Swiss-German physician, Maximilian Bircher-Benner, in his crusade to help fight tuberculosis. It was not created as a breakfast item but was to be served before lunch or dinner as a healthy first starter course.
