A cozy and creamy overnight oats recipe featuring sweet-tart apples and warm cinnamon, perfect for an easy and comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g), room temperature
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice one medium apple into small, even pieces (about 1 cup).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Stir in 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Mix well to evenly coat the oats.
  4. Gently mix the diced apples into the oat mixture, distributing them evenly.
  5. Spoon the mixture into two 12-ounce (350ml) glass jars or containers, leaving a little space at the top for expansion overnight.
  6. Seal the jars tightly and place them in the fridge for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to let the oats soak and soften.
  7. The next morning, give the oats a gentle stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with extra cinnamon, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats. To prevent apple browning, sprinkle diced apples with lemon juice before mixing. Chia seeds are optional but add thickness and fiber. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Add crunchy nuts or fresh fruit toppings before serving. Can be warmed slightly if preferred.
