Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats not instant
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup finely diced fresh apple e.g., Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional

Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar or airtight container

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, and pure maple syrup. If you're using vanilla extract, add it now.

  3. Add the finely diced fresh apple to the mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly, making sure the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged in the liquid. This is crucial for them to absorb properly overnight.

  4. Secure the lid tightly on your jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (6-8 hours). This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken, creating that signature creamy overnight oats texture.
  5. In the morning, give your Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk. Top with your favorite extra toppings and enjoy your delicious, ready-to-go breakfast.

Notes

Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Add a splash of milk to loosen if too thick.
