Kilner

Spiced Apple Bircher Muesli

This super easy, super delicious and healthy breakfast is ideal to make the night before and add the extra toppings in the morning. Packed full of complex carbohydrates, fibre and healthy fats to keep you going throughout the day, this jar of goodness is sure to make breakfast that little more exciting.

You can make a larger batch of both the Bircher Muesli and the apple topping (keep separately in the fridge) so you have breakfast ready for the week when time is short. Simply add the apples on top and take your Kilner jar to work, the gym - wherever!

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup almond milk
• ½ cup unsweetened apple puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons sultanas
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon mixed spice
• Freshly grated nutmeg

For the topping

• 1 large apple (go for Braeburn or Pink Lady)
• 2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or coconut nectar
• 2 tablespoons walnut pieces
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon tahini

Method

The night before, mix together all of the Bircher Muesli ingredients together in your Kilner jar and leave in the fridge overnight so the oats can soak everything up.

In the morning, chop the apple into chunks and place in a small pan along with the chosen syrup, walnuts and cinnamon. Cook on a low heat for about 5-10 minutes until softened and caramelised a bit, then stir in the tahini and heat through.

Now pour this over your soaked oats and tuck in!
