Bircher Muesli with Roasted Grapes

We’re back from seven weeks abroad. This recipe is inspired by two of the countries we visited, Iran and Switzerland. I love to combine flavor inspirations from different countries and the recipe is a great example of melded flavors. Bircher Muesli is a typical breakfast in Switzerland, the original overnight oats! Here, grapes replace the apples and sweetness comes from a drizzle of grape molasses and tahini.

Bircher Muesli with Roasted Grapes

Make the Bircher Muesli – Mix oats, grapes, Oatly oat milk, Kite Hill yogurt, Coyo coconut milk yogurt, raisins, maple syrup and walnuts together in a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375˚

Roast the grapes – In a small bowl, toss the grapes and walnut oil. Place the grapes on a rimmed baking sheet covered with parchment. Bake for 25-40 minutes until the grapes are soft and blistered.

To serve – Divide the Bircher Muesli between 4 or 6 serving bowls. Top with 4 or 5 roasted grapes and a drizzle of grape tahini sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
