What a great concept, the healthy way to have bircher What a great concept, the healthy way to have bircher muesli! Overnight oats are healthy more accessible way to have Bircher Muesli and is a healthier alternative. muesli!  Overnight oats really are healthy more accessible way to have Bircher Muesli –  and because you are not using fruit juice and dairy – is a healthier alternative.  Bonus, you are not restricted to using oats, I have created these wonder jars with quinoa flakes as well as rice flakes.

Building Breakfast from the bottom of the Jar up!

The basics are so simple – you need 1/4 cup (per serve) of raw/organic long cooking  rolled oats, water, mason jar with lid.  REALLY that’s all your need.  Adding your touches is what makes this a killer breakfast.  I like to add mashed banana, raspberries (fresh or frozen) Tahini, maple syrup and toasted nuts or seeds. 

Last night I didn’t have all my go to ingredients,  I used what was on hand.  Here is what I created – 1/4 cup oats, 1 medjool date (diced and mashed), 1/4 cup frozen raspberries, 1 spoon almond butter, 1 tsp  raw cacao, and to serve, toasted almonds and pumpkin seeds.  I also heated my oats before eating – I filled a pot with water and put the jar in and heated both together (TIP:  bring the cold water and cold jar up to temp together prevents glass from shattering).   If you are short on time, you can always microwave the jar for about 1-2 minutes for the same result.

See the following recipe for your next FUN breakfast creation!  If you want to create a larger batch easy also.  What you can do, is use 1/4 measure per portion  – for example you want to create 8 portions you would measure 2 full cups.  I would then put this is a large bowl that will fit in your fridge and add the water, about 4 cups.
