Bircher Muesli with Berry Compote
When someone thinks of a filling, satisfying breakfast, they may initially think of the classic kiwi breakfast; bacon, eggs and all of the trimmings. But what happens when you don't feel like a full cooked breakfast, but still want something just as substantial? Look no further!
Bircher muesli is a popular breakfast food around many countries, and can be made many different ways. My version is a healthy, nutritious version; it contains no refined sugar, and is made with pure greek yoghurt. The texture and flavour that the grated apple gives is super fresh and provides natural sweetness. To add a little more sweetness, I have used coconut sugar; a sugar that is low GI and retains many of it's essential nutrients, making it a lot more beneficial than refined white sugar.
Topped with berry compote and cacao nibs, the flavours all work in perfect harmony, and I hope you love this breakfast as much as I do!
Although this recipe is not dairy free, you could easily replace the greek yoghurt for coconut based yoghurt, or even coconut cream. X

You will need (makes 3):
|
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1 apple, grated 3/4 cup greek yoghurt 1/3 cup 100% apple juice (make sure it has no additives 1-2 tsp coconut sugar (dependant on apple's sweetness) 1tsp vanilla bean paste |

Method:
- In an medium sized bowl, combine the oats, grated apple, greek youghurt, apple juice, coconut sugar and vanilla bean paste.
- Mix until completely combined, have a taste and see if it is sweet enough, then cover with plastic wrap and pop in the fridge overnight.
- To make the compote, combine all of the ingredients in a small pot. Let the berries cook out to your desired texture, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge also.
- To serve: Take your muesli from the fridge. You will find that the mix has become quite tight, so loosen with a little more yoghurt or apple juice until it has softened slightly.
- Spoon into bowls, top with your berry compote and sprinkle with some coconut sugar and cacao nibs!
This can be kept for up to 4 days, just continue to loosen the mixture to your desired consistency X
