The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Combine the rolled oats, milk, and plain yogurt in a medium bowl.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Ensure all oats are submerged in the liquid for proper soaking.

  2. 2

    Grate the apple directly into the bowl with the oat mixture.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Grating the apple finely helps it integrate better into the müesli.

  3. 3

    Stir in the lemon juice and honey until well combined.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: The lemon juice prevents the apple from browning and adds a fresh tang.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften.

    About 5 min

    Cook’s note: Overnight soaking yields the best texture and flavor.

  5. 5

    Before serving, stir the birchermüesli and divide it into two bowls.

    About 1 min

  6. 6

    Top with chopped almonds and fresh berries, if desired.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Feel free to use other nuts or fruits based on preference.
