Miraval Bircher Mueslix

Serves 8

2 cups housemade granola (recipe below)

3/4 cup peeled and chopped apples

3/4 cup peeled and chopped pears

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1/4 cup skim or soymilk

1/4 cup raisins

1 T honey

In a bowl, mix all ingredients except milk. Add milk for desired consistency. Serve cold.

**I’m adding here that you should soak this overnight so the granola can soak up all the liquid!

Housemade granola

Makes 11 cups

6 cups rolled oats

3 cups oat bran

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1 cup honey

1 vanilla bean, split in half with seeds scraped out

3 cups unsweetened apple juice

1/3 cup golden raisins

1/3 cup dried cherries

1/3 cup dried blueberries

1/3 cup chopped dried dates

Preheat the oven to 400. Spread out the rolled oats and oat bran evenly on two baking sheets. Toast for 5-8 minutes, or until golden.

On another baking sheet, spread out the pumpkin and sunflower seeds and toast for five minutes, or until lightly browned.

In a small saucepot, simmer the honey and vanilla seeds over low heat for five to seven minutes. In another pot, combine the apple juice and dried fruits. Simmer for about five minutes or until soft. Drain.

In a large bowl, combine the oat mixture, seeds and dried fruit. Stir in the warm honey and stir to coat the oat mixture as evenly as possible.

Spread the oat mixture evenly onto two baking sheets and bake for ten to fifteen minutes, or until golden brown, stirring every two minutes to prevent burning.

Cool granola completely and then store in an airtight container for up to one month.

    Homemade granola is about the best thing in the world so awesome that they gave you the recipe – and I’m agreeing that it’s all about the overnight soaking to get that muesli-ness (definitely a word) going on.

    Sharing this from HuffPo & Tony Robbins. (Ironically, I met Tony Robbins when did his Firewalk–barefoot over 2,000 degree coals & lived next to Arianna Huffington (publisher of Huffpo) when lived in Montecito). They have teamed up on a program to help people who are going through crisis to turn things around in 30-days & also to create a core group to help transform the current zeitgeist of the country.

    Worth watching thru IMHO:

    I put together a batch of muesli today, but it wasn’t as fancy as yours! I just use raw oats instead of granola. I LOVE muesli!

    I have been to the grocery store 7 times in the last 7 days. Is it bad that I want to make it 8 in 7 after seeing this post. I made your Chana Masala tonight…I feel like I owe you my first born. That might sound drastic, however; it was THAT good. Thank you!!

    oh this looks so good. i can’t wait to whip up a batch, it seems like it can be a filling and (sorta?) inexpensive breakfast that will last a while. right? sorta cheap?

    • jenna
      July 26, 2010 at 9:52 pm

      hah! Couldn’t BELIEVE that dried blueberries cost me $9.99 today! But I guess considering how much final product you get, it’s “sorta cheap” and you could easily sub out the dried blueberries/cherries for a more affordable dried fruit..like more raisins. Bleh

    Yummy. Homemade granola is seriously the bomb diggety. I just made a ginormous batch using a Molly Wizenberg recipe from Bon Appetit mag. Made it over two weeks ago and there’s still at least 5 more breakfast’s-worth. You should try unsweetened coconut in your next batch – it’s subtle but sweet addition 🙂

  • Carolyn
    July 27, 2010 at 4:57 am

    This looks amazing!! Question, though – how much would it alter the recipe if I left out the dried fruits? The rest of my family will just pick them out, so I’d rather save them for me to add on later…

    Thanks for posting the recipe…it looks awesome! One question, do you think this would work well heated up? I love hot oatmeal with fruit in the mornings and am thinking this would be a great addition to breakfast!

    I’m curious about what is considered a serving size and what the nutritional values calculate? This looks so yummy, I tend to go overboard on portions sizes!
    Do you hve any info?
