40 minThis European-style breakfast is like overnight oats but with bulgur wheat, creating chewy texture and nutty flavor that’s totally different from standard porridge.
Dried apple rings soften as bulgur absorbs milk and fromage frais (or yogurt), transforming into creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast by morning.
No cooking required; just mix everything the night before and wake up to breakfast.
The natural sweetness from apples means you can skip added sugar entirely, perfect for diabetic meal plans or anyone watching sugar intake.
Kitchen Tips
- Soak overnight for best texture: Bulgur needs time to soften fully
- Adjust consistency: Add more milk in the morning if it’s too thick
- Fromage frais substitute: Plain Greek yogurt or quark work perfectly
- Optional sweetener: Artificial sweetener keeps it diabetic-friendly
Variations
- Use dried apricots, figs, or dates instead of apples for different fruit flavor
- Add a handful of chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch
- Stir in cinnamon or cardamom for warming spice
Ingredients
Directions
Mix the apple and bulgur in a bowl, then stir in the formage frais and half the milk. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes, or until the bulgur is softened and swollen. The grain should still have some bite, although it can be left covered in the refrigerator overnight.
Stir well and add extra milk necessary to make the mixture creamy. The mixture can be sweetened with artificial sweetener if liked.
Very the fruit, if you like, or add fresh fruit to the plain soaked bulgar.
