    Equipment

    • Grater

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 cups rolled oats
    • 1⅔ cups almond milk or other milk
    • ¼ cup raisins
    • ½ cup almonds toasted and chopped
    • 2 - 3 apples grated on the large holes of a box grater
    • 1 lemon the juice
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional on top)

    Instructions
     

    • To a large bowl, add the oats, milk, and raisins. Cover with a plate and let soak overnight in the refrigerator.
    • Portion the oats into 3 to 4 serving bowls. Add 1 grated apple per bowl/portion, drizzle the apple with lemon juice and mix the apple with the oats.
      Tip: the original recipe of Bircher Muesli calls for 1 apple per portion, however, if you think it's too much for you, you can reduce that to half apple per portion.
    • Add some toasted and chopped almonds on top, and if you like, a drizzle of maple syrup.
      Tip: If your almonds are not toasted alrady, you can do so in a pan for a couple of minutes, or in the oven at 350F (180C) for 7 to 8 minutes.
