What is Bircher Muesli? 

Bircher muesli is very similar to soaked oats but with lots of apples. In the early 1900s, a Swiss physician named Maximilian Bircher-Benner Claimed he cured his own jaundice by eating raw apples; after his recovery, he began encouraging his patients to eat raw fruits and vegetables to cure their ailments.

Recipe Notes

• Gluten-free option: Use certified gluten-free oats. 
• Vegan option: Choose dairy-free products instead of dairy and maple syrup instead of honey.
• Warm it up: Overnight oats are typically served chilled. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave.
