Method for making the Berry Bircher Muesli or Overnight Oats as it is often called.

Put the oats and seeds in a large mixing bowl and add the milk and apple juice, mashed berries, raisins and nuts

Stir and leave aside for at least 10 minutes to soften or leave them to soak overnight in the fridge, which will soften them up a bit more. I love how you can choose your texture here, do you want it chewy or soft and creamy…the longer you leave the mix to merge and mingle the more creamy it will be. The nuts and seeds still add a nice bit of crunch regardless of how long you leave it ( ok if you leave it a week even these little guys will be soft and creamy…but you get my drift)

When ready to serve, add the yoghurt, grated apple, honey and vanilla.

We add the honey and vanilla at the end as you can add to taste, you might find that the berries and apple juice are sweet enough, in which case leave the honey and vanilla out.  But berries, especially if using frozen berries, can be sharp and so it’s nice to round off this sharpness a little.

Stir and transfer to serving bowls.
