{recipe} Bircher Muesli

This one of my favorite breakfasts - anything with oatmeal in it is a winner in our house.  I love how filling it is.  It is super simple, but it seems so fancy.  I am also obsessed with lots of British things, so here you go.

 BIRCHER MUESLI:
* serves 2

1 apple, grated
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (I use a ton of oats so I buy in bulk)
1/4 cup dates, finely chopped
5 tbsp sunflower seeds
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp maple syrup
fresh berries + plain whole milk greek yogurt for serving

* I recommend using organic/grass-fed/high quality ingredients from reputable companies when feasible.

Grate the apple in a glass mixing bowl.  Stir in the oatmeal, dates, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, whole milk, and maple syrup.  Stir a couple of more times to make sure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Place the bircher muesli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to overnight so that the oatmeal can absorb all the liquid, and so that all the flavors can combine.

To serve; scoop out the bircher muesli that you would like to eat and top with the greek yogurt and berries.

Store the bircher muesli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
