Healthy breakfast alternative to muesli – vegan, as it is dairy-free

The night before, grind the 6-grain mixture. If you don’t have a grain mill, simply use a hand-held coffee grinder, like the one used by “Räuber Hotzenplotz.” Soak the grain in enough water until it is completely covered. Cover the grain and let it swell at room temperature overnight, but for at least 6 hours. The following applies: the shorter the soaking time, the more grainy the fresh grain porridge will be, and the longer the soaking time, the softer the fresh grain porridge will be. The next morning, add the raisins and sunflower seeds to the soaked grain. Wash the apple and carrot. If it’s a young, organic carrot, you don’t need to peel it. Coarsely grate the carrot and half the apple, including the skin, drizzle with lemon juice, and add to the grain. Cut the other half of the apple into bite-sized pieces and add them. Finally, add the soy cream and mix everything well. If you like, you can sweeten the fresh grain porridge with a little agave syrup or stevia. However, I don’t add any extra sweetener to the fresh grain porridge, as I find the natural sweetness of the raisins and apple is sufficient.
