RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Gluten-free option - Use gluten-free rolled oats.
Quick oats substitution - quick oats require less chilling time than rolled oats – they will need around 4 hours as compared to rolled oats which need to be chilled overnight.
Consume - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Variations - flavoured yoghurt, grated carrot, raisins or sultanas, flax, sunflower seeds, pepitas, chopped almonds, chia seeds or cashews, fresh berries, sliced banana and any extra flavourings such as cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla sugar, maple syrup or honey.
Individual serves - if you prefer, you can store the bircher muesli in individual containers or glass jars for a simple 'grab and go' breakfast or snack.
