Makes About 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 250g/9oz plain yoghurt (plus extra to decorate)
- 2 tbsp runny honey (optional)
- 200g/7oz porridge oats
- 300g/10½oz frozen mixed berries
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra to decorate)
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 apples (about 300g/10½oz), coarsely grated
- 2 pears (about 200g/7oz), coarsely grated
Instructions
1. Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the plain yoghurt, runny honey, and 400ml/14fl oz water until well combined. If you prefer a sweeter oats mixture, you can adjust the amount of honey to taste.
2. Add Oats and Fruits
Add the porridge oats, frozen mixed berries, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, grated apples, and grated pears to the yoghurt mixture. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. The mixture should be thick but pourable; if it’s too thick, add a bit more water to reach your desired consistency.
3. Chill Overnight
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld together, resulting in a creamy and flavorful breakfast.
4. Serve
In the morning, give the Bircher a good stir. If desired, top with an extra dollop of plain yoghurt and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for added flavor and decoration. You can also add fresh fruit or a handful of nuts for extra crunch.
5. Enjoy
Serve your Apple, Pear, and Berry Bircher immediately for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast. This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prepping.
Tips
- Customize Your Bircher: Feel free to add other fruits like bananas, kiwi, or mango to suit your taste preferences.
- Protein Boost: Mix in a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter for an extra protein kick.
- Texture Control: For a smoother texture, blend the yoghurt and fruits before mixing with the oats.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar to control the sweetness.
