Let's cook

  1. Soak overnight in juice

    Combine the oats, apple juice, and raisins and refrigerate overnight. Apple juice rather than milk is what makes this bircher rather than overnight oats.

  2. Grate the apple fresh

    Grate the apples with their skins in the morning and toss immediately with the lemon juice to stop them browning.

    💡

    Grate the apple fresh. Grated overnight it goes brown and loses all its texture.

  3. Fold everything together

    Stir the yoghurt, grated apple, honey, and cinnamon through the soaked oats.

  4. Adjust the consistency

    It should be loose and spoonable. Add more juice or yoghurt if it has set too thick overnight.

  5. Top and serve

    Divide into bowls and top with the hazelnuts and berries.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

The traditional version uses condensed milk and far less yoghurt, and the apple is the dominant flavour rather than an add-in. Keeps 3 days, though the apple is best added daily.

  • Vegan: Coconut yoghurt and maple syrup in place of honey.
  • Nut-free: Sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
  • Fruit: Grated pear, or berries folded through.
