If warm oats isn’t you thing, then definitely try soaking them overnight and making a bircher style muesli! Soaking the oats, seeds & grains also makes them much easier on the digestive system, allowing us to absorb more of the nutrients too.
I paired this cooling bircher with warm stewed apples to make it taste like apple pie, and it made it so fun and delicious to eat!
Here is the recipe:
NUTTY APPLE PIE BIRCHER MUESLI
(refined sugar free, oil-free, high-protein)
Serves: 1
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup of rolled oats,
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 2 apples
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar
METHOD:
The night before:
- Place the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder and coconut mylk into a container. Grate 1 apple into the container. Mix well, seal and leave in the fridge overnight or for a few hours.
The next morning:
- Chop 3/4 of the other apple into chunks, leaving the other ¼ for topping. Cook the apple chunks in a small saucepan on medium heat, along with the coconut sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of water for 6-8 minutes until apples are soft.
- In the meantime, transfer the bircher muesli into your coconut bowl, slice the remaining apple into thin slices and chop up some pecans and walnuts.
- Once the apples have finished cooking, transfer them on top of the bircher, then top using the apple slices, chopped nuts, almond butter and coconut shreds.
Enjoy guys!
