Apple & Currant Bircher Muesli
A perfect breakfast for busy mornings and apple season ~ a great recipe to make in advance – portion into mason jars to grab & go!
Bircher muesli is similar to overnight oats – traditionally made with grated apples, oats and yoghurt. The seeds add hormone + digestive system support and texture; the currants add antioxidants with a hint of natural sweetness.
Currants are much smaller than raisins, making them blend seamlessly into recipes. The yoghurt adds probiotics for your gut health and creaminess to the bircher muesli, swap ingredients out for what makes sense to you!
