A new favourite..

Well, I've always been a fan of museli, but have lately been loving Bircher Museli.  A little bit of foresight, and voila.

Those of you who think this involves waaaay too much planning - don't move this is sooooo easy, and those who know me know my favourite recipes always involve super easy, with big results.

Simply throw a few ingredients into a plastic container, put the lid on and chuck it in the fridge. You just have to remember to do this before you go to bed. Easy, huh!

Then, in the morning, you’ll have breakfast ready quicker than you can clean the sleep out of your eyes. It's that easy.   When you wake it will be to sweet, chewy oats that have soaked up the liquid. Then a few additions and you're good to go.  Easy.  I usually add some yoghurt (I am loving Black Swan vanilla bean greek yoghurt) and some fresh fruit  and voila, breakfast is served!

Now, fix yourself a cuppa and feel a little smug about eating so well for so little effort.

Now I make up enough for 2 serves.

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup liquid - I've tried all milk, all apple juice or half and half
small handful of sultanas
some cinnamon - I know that makes 4 ingredients, but it's a good addition if you think of it

Soak overnight

Add a spoonful of yoghurt
Some fruit if you have it, strawberries, bananas, or grated granny smiths are also a bit yum (apples very traditional for Bircher Museli)
When I've had no fresh fruit, I've used dried pineapple / figs / cranberries
I also chuck in some sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch - but I think you could also do almonds/hazelnuts/ whatever you like

Sometimes, if I'm feeling a bit decadent I'll drizzle a bit of honey on it... this can be messy depending on how awake you are...so be warned.

It's pretty forgiving so you can play around with whatever you have on hand.  Be adventurous and try it out.

Enjoy!
