Bircher Muesli Original

The original overnight oats recipe created by Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner in 1900. This is where it all started. The combination of grated apple, lemon juice, and honey is timeless. Perfect for purists, history enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to experience the authentic Swiss breakfast.

  4. This is as close to the original recipe as you can get with our base.
