How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, and yogurt

    In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, and yogurt. Stir well to ensure all oats are submerged.

  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

    8 hr

  3. Just before serving

    Just before serving, grate the whole apple (including the skin) into the bowl. Immediately stir in the lemon juice to prevent the apple from browning.

  4. Add the honey and chopped hazelnuts

    Add the honey and chopped hazelnuts. Mix thoroughly. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of extra milk.

A little kitchen wisdom

Authentic Bircher Müesli was originally developed by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for his patients. The key is the high ratio of fresh fruit to oats.
