Ingredients
- Per serve
- ½ cup oats
- ½ cup juice
- optional nuts/seeds
- ½ an apple grated
- 2 mint leaves shredded
- yoghurt
Juicy Bircher
Method
- Soak oats in the juice and keep in a covered dish in the refrigerator overnight
- To serve stir in some freshly grated apple and a few shredded mint leaves, and top with a spoon of yoghurt
- Experiment with adding a spoon of your favourite seeds and/or nuts – if you go for chia seeds be sure to add half the volume of juice again
- Play with a mixture of rolled, whole, or steel cut oats for a more interesting texture
- For a richer nuttier taste without adding any fat try toasting your oats in a dry pan and letting them cool before you soak them
- There’s no end of options and toppings!
Comments
As the weather warms up there’s no reason to relegate your winter oats to the back of your culinary wardrobe. With a splash of juice and a last minute sprinkle oats go from porridge to rejuvenating Bircher muesli.
Experiment with your favourite juice blend. I am using ‘Lover’ featuring sweet and earthy beetroot.
Thanks to Willowbrook Orchard – apples, and to Design Juicery – ‘Lover’ juice for providing the ingredients used in the demonstration at the market
