    Lately I've been trying to shake up my breakfast routine. I've been stuck in a rut, albeit a delicious rut, of avocado on toast and chickpea pancakes. I'm not much of a sweet breakfast person, however this fabulous Apple Crumble Buckwheat Bircher Muesli is a wonderful indulgent treat that's sure to break you out of the deepest, darkest, most boring breakfast routine.

    I've topped my buckwheat bircher muesli with vanilla bean coconut yoghurt (nudie makes a great one), apple matchsticks, and toasted flaked almonds, but feel free to add the toppings of your choice. Toasted buckwheat is great for a nut-free crunch, and stewed apples are another wonderful addition.

    Apple & Cinnamon Buckwheat Bircher Muesli FAQs

    Why buckwheat?

    Instead of the oats found in most bircher muesli I've used buckwheat. Buckwheat is one of my favorite ingredients, not only because it is delicious, but budget friendly too, and, despite its name, it is completely gluten-free. The buckwheat only needs to be soaked for an hour to become soft enough to blend into this fabulous creamy bircher muesli.

    Why is it called Bircher muesli?

    The name Bircher comes from the original inventor of muesli: Maximilian Bircher-Benner. He created it as a healthy meal for his patients, and it originally included lots of apples!
