Otherwise known as easy overnight oats.
YUM!
Bircher-Muesli is a simple, traditional, soaked & cultured, overnight oatmeal that takes just a few moments before bedtime to be ready upon your rising in the morning. It is worth those moments, you are worthy of those moments. Making this muesli in a mason jar makes it a quick and portable healthy breakfast choice whether you are heading out the door and into the car, or out onto the deck for a breakfast picnic.
Using keifer to soak your oats and seeds elevates this Bircher-Muesli recipe. You get the beautiful probiotic lovelies from the keifer, which also unlock the oat’s full potential within your body. It is gluten-free, if you choose thick rolled oats that are processed in a grain free facility.
I love the addition of chia seeds to traditional Bircher-Muesli. Paired alongside the addition of keifer and homemade almond milk, this beautiful breakfast becomes a creamy, nourishing delight to awaken the senses. The thick, rich consistency is complemented by the crunch of nuts, seeds, and grated apple sprinkled over.
Add a handful of colorful, seasonal berries, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, a glimmer of honey or maple syrup to top off your morning, with the aroma of lovingly strewn cinnamon wafting gently amongst oats and fruit, Bircher-Muesli, is a raw, wholly nurturing way to enhance your wellbeing and elevate your day.
