My heart is full today, bursting in fact. Bursting with love and happiness and all the good things that come with it. There is something so magical about spending a day, watching two people you love, make promises to love each other forever. I managed to hold back the tears, but watching my best childhood friend walk down the aisle to marry her guy was beautiful. I got the honour of walking down in front of her, in awe of how beautiful she looked. I also got to make their wedding cake, weeks of stressing was instantly forgotten as soon as I saw their faces light up when they saw it. It’s been a magical weekend and my heart is happy.
Packed lunches made, dinner on and breakfast oats soaking, I’m now cosy-ing up and settling down for a snuggly few hours on the sofa. We try to get our food for the next working day all sorted before dinner, so we can chill for a few hours. This weekend I need it. I love making bircher muesli the night before, letting all the goodness soak into the oats overnight. Then, come morning time, we can just grab them out the fridge and eat them, no breakfast faffing. Just tasty, simple, quick breakfasts for us. I love Dorset Cereals bircher muesli. There’s no nasties, just natural ingredients. Their new flavours (raspberry and blackcurrant / almond and honey) are perfect summer flavours and right up my street! Show them some love on their fantastic Instagram! This plum bircher muesli – summer in a bowl, is a new favourite in our morning routine (along with this smoothie of course). Happy hearts and happy bellies you guys.
- 75g / ½ cup Dorset Cereals raspberry & blackcurrant bircher muesli
- 75ml / ⅓ cup organic freshly pressed apple juice + extra 50ml
- 50g dairy free yoghurt (I used vanilla Coyo)
- 2 plums
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or raw cane sugar)
- Add the muesli to a bowl, pour the apple juice on top, stir well. Add the yoghurt to the top of the bowl.
- Leave in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, chop and de-stone the plums.
- Add them to a saucepan with the remaining apple juice, and coconut sugar.
- Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir the yoghurt through the oats.
- Spoon the plum mixture on top of the muesli.
Don’t forget you can catch my daily creations over on my Instagram account!

I’m a longstanding Bircher Muesli fan and eat it every week day. We also love that you can make it the night before to make life easier in the morning. However, my muesli is really boring compared to this bowl of pink, fruity delight. I think I need to up my game!!!
It’s such a great breakfast, I take it to work in a jar and enjoy it at my desk 🙂
Looks delicious Sus and I have never heard of coconut sugar before! Must look out for the Bircher Muesli!
It’s available in most health food stores now 🙂
I’m not normally a muesli fan but this looks lovely – might have to try it this weekend x
I’d works so well with the apple juice too – like apple/plum pie in a bowl!
I love the sound of this and I adore the idea of adding apple juice, one to remember x
It makes it even tarsier Rachel!
Oh, this looks so good! The perfect way to start the day!
I couldn’t agree more Jenn. 🙂
What a delicious combination of flavours 🙂 I haven’t bought plums this year, no idea why! I have a bad habit of buying the same foods over and over again. I would love to give this recipe a try so I need to get some plums on my next shopping trip 🙂
I do the same Nadia, we are creatures of habit. But I saw these plums at the market and they looked too good to miss!
Bircher muesli just takes me right back to my days in Switzerland when a gang of us au pairs would meet up for breakfast and have a bowl full loaded with thick Swiss mountain cream – heaven!
Ah such lovely memories! I didn’t realise you had lived in Switzerland!
I love Dorset cereals and have them for breakfast very often! Love the combination, sounds very delicious 🙂
They’re great aren’t they?! It’s the only cereal I will buy!
What a yummy and healthy way to start a day!
Most definitely!
I really have not tried muesli. You make it look very tempting!
Oh Peter you must try this!
I don’t know that I’ve seen Bircher muesli in the U.S., but this recipe looks fantastic! I love your pre-planning of meals for the following day… what a huge relief that must be!
Really? I would have thought you would get it over there? You can make Bircher muesli from regular muesli! Oh yeah, I’m all about the meal prep, more time to sleep in!
I love the sound of putting apple juice in this! Looks so yummy and summery 🙂
Thanks Becca, I’m loving the apple juice addition too!
Such great idea to elevate a boring muesli breakfast!
Indeed Suchi!
Sus! I saw your wedding cake and it was beautiful! What a gift to give to your friend! It was really something and those flowers! Love this take on bircher muesli – and I’m all about plums at the moment! Sending love xo
Thank you sweet Jodi! It was an effort for sure but they loved it which made me so happy! Lotsa love xx
