Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1 apple, grated
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Chopped nuts for topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and almond milk, stirring thoroughly to ensure all oats are well-coated and moistened.
- Wash and grate the fresh apple using a box grater, ensuring to include the grated pieces directly into the oat mixture. The apple will add natural sweetness and moisture to the bircher.
- Add maple syrup and ground cinnamon to the mixture, stirring gently to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the oats and apple.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them completely. Some whole raspberries will provide bursts of flavor in each bite.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Before serving, give the bircher a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients and ensure a consistent texture.
- Transfer the bircher into serving bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans for added crunch and nutrition.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your plant-based morning breakfast immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The secret to an exceptional bircher lies in using ripe, flavorful fruits and premium rolled oats.
- Allow sufficient soaking time: While the recipe suggests a minimum of 30 minutes, letting the bircher rest overnight in the refrigerator can enhance the texture and allow flavors to meld beautifully.
- Customize your toppings: Experiment with different nuts like toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds, or even a sprinkle of coconut flakes to add extra crunch and nutrition.
- Choose your milk wisely: Almond milk works great, but you can also try oat milk or coconut milk for varied flavor profiles.
- Keep it fresh: Prepare the bircher no more than 24-48 hours in advance to maintain optimal texture and taste.
- Temperature matters: Serve chilled for the most refreshing morning experience, but let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to soften slightly.
