Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt
- 1 medium apple, finely diced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Dice the apple finely into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, ground cinnamon, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
- Add almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until well combined and oats are fully moistened.
- Fold in the diced apples gently to spread evenly.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra apple slices, cinnamon, or nuts if desired. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds are optional but help thicken and add fiber. Adjust sweetness to taste. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or soy yogurt and almond milk with oat or soy milk. Keep diced apples small for even texture. Store in fridge up to 3-4 days. Warm gently before serving if preferred.
