Perfect for meal planning, overnight oats are an easy and healthy breakfast option with endless flavor possibilities. Bircher muesli ( the original overnight oatmeal) was created by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner in the early 1900s. Inspired by a meal the doctor had while hiking in the Alps, Bircher-Benner created his recipe (consisting of apple, lemon juice, oats, cream, and honey) in order to encourage his patients to eat more raw fruits and veggies. Today Bircher muesli is a popular breakfast throughout Switzerland, Germany and Austria and beyond.
