Overnight oats have been popular for few years, but it has been around for a century. Its actually more of a rediscovery of Swiss physician and nutritionist Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Brenner developed in 1902 as Apfeldiätspeise – as a dietary meal based on apples (actually it was meant as dinner) for the patients of his clinic “Lebendige Kraft” (vital power) know as Bircher Müsli. While the term Müsli which comes from the swiss German word “mues” (mush) already refers to the consistency of a müsli which comes from soaking oats overnight, the name “Apfeldiätspeise” indicates that the key to the dish was actually the apple and not the grains.
The original recipe called for much more fresh fruit than grain and soaked the raw oats overnight since they took some time to soften. Its one of the easiest no cook grab n go healthy breakfast ideas for a busy lifestyle. It can made in so many different ways, the options are endless. The magic happens with the oats while you sleep. It could dessert too!!

I love cooking because its fun. It’s a way to express myself. Its an universal language which everyone understands. Cooking is an art where a doodle can be delicious. There’s such a large spectrum of experimentation, the possibilities are endless and the outcome is edible which is fantastic. Any process which involves all our 5 senses for gratification is bound to deliver joy and pleasure. Food is something to be shared. There is no right or wrong in cooking as long as its delicious. Cooking doesn’t have to be hard. It should be a mix of tradition, convenience and mostly indulgence. And it also should be about what works for you. Its all about experiencing the flavors of the world and enjoying it. It’s a continuous learning process which is never ending but its fun and fulfilling. Cooking is food for my soul. It gives me an opportunity to nurture my family and friends, express my love and care for them. Learning, exploring, creating, connecting with other cultures and people, inner peace, control of ingredients and techniques, making memories, passing on skills, learning about nutrition, participating in traditions and creating new ones, I can keep going- but these are the main reasons why I love cooking.Follow me on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKRcitFRiA5vBw20oGKnQDgInstagram: kiron_ahsan
