Breakfast Birchler (Vegan)

Make your hectic mornings a lot less chaotic
by preparing this scrumptious, filling breakfast
before you go to sleep. First, make the Birchler Mix
Store the mix in an airtight container
on your counter or in your pantry.

Then measure out some and add the Birchler Soak ingredients. 
Here you see the Birchler Mix, yogurt, mashed banana,
and plant milk.

Stir up the ingredients.

Cover the prepared Birchler and pop it in the fridge.

Wake up refreshed knowing that breakfast
is just a spoon away!
Recipe from Good Eatings
Husband-Tested in Alice's Kitchen
Makes 8 servings

Birchler is an overnight oat breakfast.  This recipe is a winner!  It turns out very creamy and filling.  I like to keep my Birchler Mix on the counter in a pretty jar.  Then, the night before a busy day, I just measure out some of the mix and add a few ingredients to a bowl for an overnight soak in the fridge. In the morning, I've got a GREAT breakfast ready to go.

Birchler Mix:
1/2 cup buckwheat groats
3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup hemp hearts
1/3 - 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, dried blueberries, dried apricots, etc...)

Place the Birchler Mix ingredients in a bowl and mix well.  Transfer the mix to an airtight container.  

Birchler Soak (per serving):
3/4 cup of the Birchler Mix
1/2 cup plant milk (oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk, etc...)
1/4 cup plant yogurt (oat yogurt, soy yogurt, etc...)
1/2 banana, mashed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

The night before, mix the Birchler Soak ingredients in your breakfast bowl.  Cover and chill in the fridge overnight.  

Toppings: (optional)
Fresh fruit (apple, pear, banana, 
Fresh or frozen berries
More plant milk
Extra dollop of plant yogurt
1 Tablespoon nut or seed butter

In the morning, stir the birchler.  Leave your birchler plain or add any of the toppings you desire. Enjoy!
