Breakfast is a cherished ritual for our family, as it can often be the only time during the week that we all sit down and enjoy a meal together. And on school mornings, I’d rather not be fussing around in the kitchen, which is why I’m loving this easy overnight bircher muesli recipe — simply place the ingredients in a jar the night before, and wake up to enjoy a deliciously creamy, nourishing breakfast.
I have kept this recipe relatively basic, as that’s how I like it, but feel free to jazz it up with other kinds of dried fruit, spices and so on.
