Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vegan alternative)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 medium apple, finely diced
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine Base Ingredients. In a mason jar or a medium-sized bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients. Pour in your choice of milk, the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon to stir everything together until the mixture is well-combined and there are no dry pockets of oats remaining.
- Step 3: Fold in Apples. Gently fold in the finely diced apples. Ensure the apple pieces are submerged or well-coated in the oat mixture so they stay fresh and absorb the flavors of the cinnamon and vanilla.
- Step 4: Chill and Set. Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to achieve the creamiest texture.
