Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats or quick oats
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 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
- 1 cup diced apple (Honeycrisp or Cosmic Crisp recommended)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Spices
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, chia seeds, yogurt, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, diced apple, ground cinnamon, and optional spices (nutmeg, ginger, allspice) to a large bowl. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: The next morning, give the mixture a good stir and enjoy your overnight oats. You can add additional toppings such as almond butter or peanut butter to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can prepare this recipe in advance by dividing the mixture into 4 separate jars before refrigerating for individual servings.
- Use rolled oats for a chewier texture or quick oats for creamier oats.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
- Feel free to substitute the apples with other fruits such as pears or berries.
- This recipe is versatile and can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt and milk.
