Blueberry & Coconut Bircher Muesli Cooking Guide

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw pumpkin seeds, raw sunflower seeds, finely shredded coconut, flax seeds, chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Next, add the vegan yogurt and frozen blueberries to the dry mixture. Pour in the unsweetened non-dairy milk, followed by your choice of sweetener such as maple syrup. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3: Chill

Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the muesli to chill for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight. This resting period allows the oats and seeds to soak up the liquid, resulting in a creamy texture.

Step 4: Serve

When you’re ready to enjoy your Blueberry & Coconut Bircher Muesli, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash more of non-dairy milk to reach your desired consistency. Serve it in a bowl and top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, or any other toppings you love.

Flavor-Forward Alternatives

• Swap frozen blueberries for fresh strawberries, raspberries, or any seasonal fruit.
• Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
• Incorporate nuts such as almonds or walnuts for added crunch.
• Try using different plant-based yogurts like coconut or almond for unique flavors.

Pro Tips & Notes

• For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut yogurt.
• Adjust the sweetness to your liking; not everyone enjoys a sweet start to their day.
• Feel free to double the recipe for a week’s worth of breakfast.
• Use a variety of fruits to keep breakfast interesting throughout the week.

Refrigerate, Freeze, Reheat

The Blueberry & Coconut Bircher Muesli can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it a fantastic make-ahead breakfast option.
