Delicious Classic Swiss Bircher Muesli Overnight Oats

Bircher Muesli has been a family breakfast staple for as long as I can remember. The wonderful thing about this Swiss traditional recipe is not only its simplicity but also the room it gives for creativity. As someone who treasures a good breakfast meal and who has prepared this countless times, I can say Bircher Muesli never gets boring. You can switch it up with different kinds of fruits, nuts, or even dairy substitutes-- each change promises a different adventure for your taste buds!

Directions

10 min.
1. Step

Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, and honey in a large bowl. Ensure each grain of oat gets a good soak; this is vital for achieving the soft, chewy texture that a perfect Muesli should have.

2. Step

Grate the apple (I leave the skin on for extra fiber, but you can peel it if you prefer) directly into the oat mixture and add a squeeze of lemon to prevent the apple from turning brown. Mix until well combined.

3. Step

Cover the bowl with cling film and leave it to soak in the fridge overnight. This is essential to allow the flavor to develop and the oats to absorb the liquid.

4. Step

The next morning, give the muesli a good stir. You'll notice that the oats have absorbed almost all the liquid and thickened considerably.

5. Step

Top the muesli with a mix of your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds. I often use banana slices, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of chia seeds, but feel free to mix it up.

6. Step

Enjoy the Bircher Muesli as it is, or you might add a splash of extra milk.
