A cozy and creamy overnight oats recipe featuring fresh apple chunks and warm cinnamon, perfect for quick and comforting breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced (about 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon 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, bite-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch cubes). Optionally toss with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  2. In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, ground cinnamon, chia seeds (if using), and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. Add almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Fold in the diced apples gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 hours, to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld. Stir before serving and add a splash of almond milk if too thick.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds help thicken the mixture but are optional. For dairy-free, omit Greek yogurt and add more almond or plant-based milk. Seal container tightly to prevent fridge odors. Stir oats before serving and add a splash of milk if too thick. Can be eaten cold or warmed for 30 seconds in microwave. Variations include adding nuts, spices like nutmeg, or swapping apples for other fruits.
