Classic Bircher
Soaking oats in yoghurt and fruit juice overnight softens and breaks down the grains, making a delicious, fibre-rich, easily digestible probiotic breakfast for the whole family. To add nuts, consider folding a little smooth, unsalted nut butter through your bircher or, for a dairy-free alternative, swap out regular yoghurt for a coconut, soy or nut-milk yoghurt. You will need to start your bircher a day ahead so the oats are well soaked.
There are endless great ideas for variations on classic bircher, as well as garnishes, such as nuts (pecans are a favourite), seeds, fresh and poached fruits, spices and assorted grains.
