Prepare this easy, no-cook breakfast the night before for a cozy, apple pie flavored start to your busy morning. This recipe is high fiber and perfect for healthy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for protein)
  • 1/2 small apple, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Stir all ingredients together well to mix the cinnamon and prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
  3. Fold in the finely diced fresh apple pieces.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
  6. Eat cold directly from the jar. Add toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For a gluten free breakfast, use certified gluten free rolled oats.
  • To make this a protein packed oats recipe, increase the Greek yogurt to 1/2 cup or add one scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  • For a vegan overnight oats option, use plant-based milk and ensure your sweetener is maple syrup or agave.
  • Top with toasted pecans or extra cinnamon before serving for added texture.
