Ingredients

Oats & Seeds

  • 2 cups rolled oats or quick oats
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

Dairy & Liquids

  • 1 cup Greek or Skyr yogurt, dairy or plant-based
  • 1 ½ cups non-dairy milk of choice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits & Spices

  • 1 cup diced apple (Honeycrisp or Cosmic Crisp recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • ⅛ teaspoon ginger (optional)
  • ⅛ teaspoon allspice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rolled oats or quick oats, chia seeds, Greek or plant-based yogurt, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, diced apple, ground cinnamon, and optional spices like nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Stir everything well to fully combine all ingredients.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chill for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight to let the oats absorb the liquid and flavors meld.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats if needed and enjoy cold as is or add your favorite toppings such as almond butter or peanut butter. For a warm option, transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until desired temperature is reached.

Notes

  • Leftover overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator in the same jar or bowl for up to 5 days. The mixture will thicken over time, so add a splash of milk to adjust consistency before eating.
  • If you prefer warm oats, heat them in the microwave in 30-second bursts until warm.
  • This recipe is customizable with different types of apples or plant-based yogurts.
  • You can prepare this recipe in individual jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
