Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 small apple, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
  • 1 splash lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, toss the diced apple with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a splash of lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. In a 16-ounce jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the jar.
  4. Stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until fully combined and no dry pockets remain.
  5. Spoon the spiced apples on top of the oat mixture. Seal the jar with a lid.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir well to combine the apples and oats. Enjoy cold or slightly warmed.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick or steel-cut. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup. For higher protein, add a scoop of protein powder with the dry ingredients.
