Swiss Style Müesli

This Swiss Style Müseli is a favorite breakfast dish of mine since I am a fan of all things oatmeal and yogurt. My aunt introduced the concept of this dish to me in 1984. Aunt Kate gave me a recipe for Bürcher Müssli (Swiss), served to her first in 1955 when she was working as a missionary in Neumühle, Germany. Aunt Kate told me that she named this dish after a Dr Bürcher, and the dish was “highly recommended for its wholesomeness.”  Her directions were not ingredient amount specific, and I didn’t have a flair to figuring out the correct proportions. Then my sister Rachel started making her own to eat when she was working night shift, and I decided it was time to learn to do this right.

In August of this year, I was served this dish several times on an Alaskan Cruise on the Eurodam. When the staff called me to check on how the room service was that day, I told the gentleman there was a problem: I needed the recipe. That evening at dinner, I was handed an envelope from our waiter. Inside was the recipe.

Yes!

I have been making this Müesli ever since.

It’s guaranteed to help you be regular!

This recipe also assures you there are a plethora of variations, and you get to choose.

  • choose your fruit and sweetener ingredients – honey, sugar, artificial sweetener or none
  • choose to add cinnamon because you have apples
  • add a little extra oomph and silk by mixing a dab of cream cheese with your fruit
  • add Chi seeds to add protein and thicken your dish
  • add a variations of seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, or flax.
  • decrease the sugar or omit it altogether, especially if you add raisins
  • decrease the amount of honey unless you have a sweet tooth and no cavities

This recipe serves ten people. I’ve divided it into a recipe for ten and for two. Remember that you can make the entire recipe and use it for several days. It works well as a snack in the middle of the afternoon as well!

  1. So excited to find this recipe. We took an Alaskan cruise on the Eurodam last July and I fell in love with that Swiss style muesli. I just tried it on a whim one morning and oh my goodness….love at first taste!!!! Those tiny glass things that they serve it in is not enough. I never thought to ask for the recipe because most places will not give out their recipes.

  2. How cool! We were there a month before you were. I’m so glad I asked for the recipe! I agree, those containers were not nearly large enough! Enjoy!!
