Pear and Ginger Bircher Muesli

A fresh, fruity, nourishing, and delicious breakfast.

Whether you call this Bircher Muesli or Overnight Oats, this make-ahead breakfast is perfect for weekday mornings. You know the drill? The oats are soaked in a mixture of milk and yoghurt overnight, along with some warming spices and grated pear (for natural sweetness). In the morning, simply add your seed and nut butter topping and tuck in!
