Ingredients

Scale

Oats Mixture

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy milk or plant-based milk)
  • ⅔ cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best)
  • ½ cup chopped apple
  • 1 Tbsp honey (pure maple syrup or sugar as alternatives)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, ⅔ cup plain yogurt, ½ cup chopped apple, 1 Tbsp honey, 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp chia seeds (optional), 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ¼ tsp sea salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the oat mixture into a container with a tight-fitting lid. Seal and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to fully absorb the liquid and flavors.
  3. Serve Chilled: Remove the oats from the fridge in the morning, stir gently, and add any desired toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds. Enjoy cold directly from the container with a spoon.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy.
  • Use Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and added protein.
  • Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and omega-3s.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using alternatives like maple syrup.
  • This recipe is best stored covered in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days.
  • Add toppings such as nuts, dried fruits, or seeds just before serving for added texture and flavor.
