Muesli (Granola) Serves 1

Muesli (granola) is now a very popular breakfast dish, but unfortunately the commercial muesli mix bears no relationship at all to the original raw fruit porridge devised by Dr Max Bircher-Benner for his patients. Modern mueslis are essentially starchy cereal mixes, whereas in Dr Bircher-Benner’s muesli, grated raw apple and/or other acid fruit predominated and only a level tablespoonful of fresh rolled oats or medium oatmeal was permitted. Because the cereal content is so small and also because it is raw, freshly made muesli, prepared according to Dr Bircher-Benner’s recipe, may be regarded as an alkaline meal, and the recipe is given below. However, if you prefer a mixed cereal dish this is not muesli and should be regarded as a starch meal

Dr Bircher-Benner’s Muesli

1 tbsp rolled oats or medium oatmeal

¹/₄ cup/3 tbsps spring water

1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

¹/₄ cup/3 tbsps whole milk or plain yoghurt

1 large or 2 small dessert apples

1 tbsp grated almonds or hazelnuts

1 Soak the oats or oatmeal with the water overnight.

2 In the morning, add the lemon juice and milk or yoghurt. Grate (shred) the well-scrubbed apples into the mixture and sprinkle the grated nuts on top.

3 Serve at once.
