Recipe inspired by: Switzerland
* 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.
** Depending on your blender it may be easier to blend up a larger quantity of blueberries into a puree and just use 30g of the blended mixture and the rest on subsequent days.
** If you don’t have toasted flaked almonds you can toast regular flaked almonds by putting them in a dry frying pan and lightly frying them until they start to smell aromatic, around 5 minutes.
