This is fresh and very tasty, perfect for an alternative to porridge in the summer. Using apple is an absolute classic in classic Swiss bircher and I really like the acidity it brings
I also add seeds in to my bircher for added texture and nutrients. You could replace these with nuts too or just more oats.
This is really adaptable, so make it and top it with whatever takes your fancy!
Ingredients
Serves 2
To soak
1 cup oats
4 tbsp seeds
300 ml milk
1 apple
To top with: your choice, here is what I do...
seeds
nut butter
(notes, variations and substitutions found below the method)
Method
Chop the apple in half. Grate one half of the apple and leave the other half for the topping. I suggest wrapping in clingfilm and popping it in the fridge.
Mix the grated apple with the remaining ‘soaking’ ingredients in bowl, cover and leave to sit overnight.
In the morning top with slices of apple, seeds and whatever takes your fancy
Substitutions and variations
Milk: regular, soy or nut milks will all work.
Oats: I use quick cook oats as they soak up the liquid really well, but it's personal preference.
Seeds/Nut: I usually have a bag of mixed seed, which has sunflower, pumpkin, chia, flax and a whole load of others in there. Just use what you have in the cupboards.
