Best Low Fat Bircher Muesli Recipes
LOW-FAT BIRCHER MUESLI
Though there are a few muesli recipes on this site, this one is unique in its inclusion of wheat germ. This recipe mixes up a big batch that can be stored in an airtight container for a month or so. Though the original recipe comes from fatfree.com, this one has been adapted a bit to suit my tastes.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients together and store in an air tight container.
- For breakfast combine 1/4 cup of the muesli mix with 1/4 cup of water and let soak for 30 minutes. Serve with 1 cup of yogurt and chopped fruit. Diced apples strawberries, bananas and blueberries all work well.
- 9/14 update: After reading the reviewer comments, I'm changing the directions to a 1:1 ratio of muesli and water. While the 2:1 worked well for me, my oatmeal is an organic super grainy type that may not represent the typical grain. Thank you Paula and Amis for the helpful feedback.

MUESLI - LOW FAT, LOW GI, DIABETIC
My doctor gave me this with instructions to eat it every day, and it would lower my sugars, cholesterol, triglycerides, and kick start my weight loss. And he was right, all those things happened. Buy all these goodies as organic as you can, unsalted and unsweetened. When I make it, I leave out the nuts and raisins

Steps:
- Mix all together in a large bowl.
- Store in a large, glass jar. (not plastic).
- Serve 1/2 cup with skim milk and no fat yogurt, and some stewed fruit or blue berries.
- It's a good idea to let muesli sit for a few minutes in the milk, to soften the oats. You can eat it cold or warm it in the microwave.

BIRCHER MUESLI
Essentially oats soaked in fruit juice, or milk, with nuts and fruit, Bircher muesli has a long history, and enough versions floating around to prove it. The original was created in the early 1900s by Maximilian Bircher-Benner, a Swiss doctor. It consisted of oats, grated apple, nuts, lemon and condensed milk and honey, but over time, people have gotten creative with the formula. This version is a choose-your-own-adventure recipe that is great to make ahead in large or small batches. Some recipes call for apple juice or applesauce for moisture, but this version uses creamy Greek yogurt instead. Tahini adds richness, but substitute another nut butter or skip it all together if you'd rather. Swap out the nuts and dried fruit to suit your tastes and what you have. (Dates are especially nice.) Thin individual servings with more milk, if needed, then top with additional fresh fruit, nuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. It's cool, creamy, chewy and crunchy all at once.

- Stir before serving, and add a bit of milk if it has gotten too thick. Top individual servings with additional fresh or dried fruit, nuts and maple syrup.
BIRCHER MUESLI WITH APPLE & BANANA
Soaking oats and seeds overnight makes them easier to digest, and the muesli will be extra creamy. Great for a quick breakfast straight from the fridge
