Swiss Bircher, My Way

• Swiss Bircher Muesli
• 2 cups homemade muesli mix (I use 1/3 to 1/2 a cup per person), see recipe below
• Milk
• 1 cup of (vanilla/plain) yogurt
• 1/2 cup raw pecans, hand crushed
• 1 - 2 sweet, crisp apples, finely chopped or grated (Leave the skin on if you like)
• Ripe bananas, to serve
• Homemade Muesli Mix
• 2 cups of oats or rolled rice (for gluten-free)
• 1 cup of All-bran or 1/2 cup ground almonds+1/4 cup brown rice cereal +2 tablespoons ground flax seeds (for gluten-free)
• 1/2 a cup of hazelnuts/almonds/pecans raw (not roasted) & chopped
• 1/2 a cup of small dried fruit (raisins, craisins, currants, sultanas,dried cherries or dried blueberries)
• 1/2 a cup of larger dried fruit, chopped up (Apricots, Prunes, Apples)
• Optional: To make it extra special, you can add 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla powder, some flaked/dessicated coconut, chocolate chips..... the list is endless.

1. Put the cereal in a large bowl and top up with milk to cover the cereal.
2. Add the cup of yogurt to the milk-muesli mix and stir well. Then add the pecans and the chopped apples. Stir well and cover bowl. Refrigerate overnight.
3. In the morning, the cereal grains would have absorbed the milk and yogurt. If you find the cereal too thick, loosen by stirring in some more milk. The consistency should be loose, creamy and silky...on the tongue!
4. Serve with banana slices.
5. * The cups don't have to be measuring cups, just ensure you use the same (-sized) cup to measure all the different ingredients, or adjust to taste
6. Put all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well to combine and store in an air-tight container. Keeps for a month plus
