Vegan Swiss Bircher Müsli

Well sugar, today’s recipe is kinda like the original prototype of them overnight oats, y’all know it as Swiss Bircher Müsli!

What you gotta do here is soak your oats in milk and water. If you can, best do this overnight. Then toss in a heap of grated apple and chopped nuts.

It’s as simple as pie, with a creamy texture that’s fresh and nutty. And let me tell ya’, it’s pretty dang good for you too.

This here müsli got its name from a doctor fella by the name of Maximilian Bircher-Benner who served it up for an easy, wholesome breakfast to his patients after him and his wife tried it while hiking in them Swiss Alps.

My mama used to whip up a big batch for breakfast on school days.

Not too long ago I found my fondness for it all over again and just had to share this recipe with y’all! If you’re partial to porridge or Müsli like me, this one’ll have you falling head over heels.
