* Use a finer variety of oats for this recipe (such as quick-cook, instant or porridge oats) rather than old fashioned rolled oats. Traditionally bircher and overnight oat recipes use rolled oats which are soaked overnight but as this is a ‘quick bircher’ so you want an oat with less ‘bite’ as they won’t have time to soften.
** If you don’t have toasted pecans you can toast them by putting them in a dry frying pan and lightly frying them until they start to smell aromatic, around 5-10 minutes.
