Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
- 1/2 cup finely diced apple (about 1 small apple)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather a jar or container with a lid suitable for holding one serving.
- Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, diced apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the jar.
- Pour the milk over the dry ingredients.
- Stir everything together well until the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged and combined.
- Seal the jar with the lid and shake gently or stir once more to prevent clumping.
- Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Eat cold directly from the jar.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
- If you want a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt before chilling.
- These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them excellent for meal prep on the go.
- Top with extra chopped apples or nuts right before serving for added texture.
