Birchermüesli

Switzerland · Europe

Bowl of soaked oats with apple, banana, strawberries, yogurt, walnuts, and seeds.
Birchermüesli

Zurich physician Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Benner developed the dish around 1900. The mixture of soaked oat flakes and grated apple also contains lemon juice and nuts. Modern versions often include yoghurt or cream.[1]

The historic recipe published by SRF uses oats soaked in water and sweetened condensed milk. Lemon juice is mixed into the oats and milk before freshly grated, unpeeled apple is added. Grated walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds complete the mixture, with honey or sugar listed as additional sweeteners.[2]
