Bircher Muesli

Save Recipe

Overnight soaking transforms oats into a delicious creamy breakfast. If you’re making this for only one or two people make it directly into breakfast bowls, reducing the ingredients by about the same ratio — they don’t have to be exact. You can play around with different dried fruits and nuts — cashews and dried figs are good together.
