Overnight oats are not limited to milk. Besides milk or even its vegan alternatives, you can use apple juice too.
This type of overnight oats is classic. It is also called Bircher muesli, as it is named after Maximilian Bircher-Benner, a Swiss nutritionist that developed the recipe.
Now there are many variations of this. But for the recipe we have prepared for you, it is the classic combination of oats, apple juice, fruits, and other toppings. Remember, there is no hard and fast rule in terms of the combination. You can mix and match as desired.
As for the oats, you may either use the traditional rolled oats, which tend to add more texture, or you may opt for porridge oats. Others use a combination of the two.
As for the fruit toppings, we have chosen to use apples and blueberries. Then we add some cinnamon as garnish. Feel free to add some nuts if desired.
