Bircher Bowls
One of our favourite make-ahead breakfast recipes that’s always a hit with the Essendon AFL team are our Bircher bowls.
They are a fantastic way to start the day, packed with nutrients to keep you going strong.
Plus, they're super easy to make at home!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
- 1 grated apple
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup yoghurt
- 1/2 cup mix of any nuts and seeds you like (we love roasted almond slivers, pepita, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds)
- A little cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Combine the rolled oats, grated apple, apple juice, yoghurt, and your chosen mix of nuts and seeds in a bowl.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
- Mix it all together until well combined.
- Store in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 5 days.
Pro Tip: As the oats continue to absorb the liquid, you might need to add some extra water or juice each day to maintain the desired consistency.
