Mocha Bircher Muesli

I really wanted the coffee to sing here, so I haven't put any cocoa in the oats themselves, but instead topped the muesli with chocolate chunks. I love the contrast of chunky chocolate and smooth coffee infused oats - delicious!

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 simply based on my basic recipes for bircher muesli: pear and apple based.


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

  • 1/2 pear or apple

  • 1 tbsp strong coffee

  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

To top with: your choice, here is what I do...

  • yoghurt

  • chocolate chunks (milk or dark - your choice)

  • nuts (I use walnuts)

(notes, variations and substitutions found below the method)


Method

  1. Chop the pear in half. Grate one half of the pear and leave the other half for using another time. I suggest wrapping in clingfilm and popping it in the fridge.

  2. Mix the grated pear with the remaining ‘soaking’ ingredients in bowl, cover and leave to sit overnight.

  3. In the morning top with yoghurt, walnuts and chocolate chunks

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.
