Jamie Oliver’s Bircher Muesli Recipe
Jamie Oliver’s Bircher Muesli is a no-cook, overnight oat recipe inspired by Swiss tradition. It combines rolled oats, grated apple, yogurt, and milk, which soften overnight to create a creamy, porridge-like texture. Topped with fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds, it’s a balanced and energizing breakfast.

Ingredients
- 150g rolled oats
- 1 large apple, grated (skin on for extra fiber)
- 250ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 150g natural yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 50g mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts), roughly chopped
- 50g mixed seeds (e.g., chia, sunflower, pumpkin)
- Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices) for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated apple, milk, yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract (if using). Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Step 2: Add Nuts and Seeds
Stir in the chopped nuts and seeds, reserving a handful for topping.
Step 3: Soak Overnight
Cover the bowl with a lid or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
Step 4: Serve
In the morning, give the muesli a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Divide the muesli into serving bowls and top with fresh fruit and the reserved nuts and seeds. Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
