Ingredients

  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
  • ¼ cup greek yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ apple finely diced
  • ½ cup (plant-based) milk of choice
  • toppings of choice e.g. walnuts, almonds, raisins, nut butter, more cinnamon or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a container or glass jar and mix until they are well combined.
  • Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. I recommend preparing the overnight oats in the evening so they are ready for the next morning. Add toppings before placing the overnight oats in the refrigerator or immediately before serving.
  • In the morning, thin the overnight oats with more milk if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Toppings: I love using walnuts, raisins and a few more apple dices. Feel free to be creative and add the toppings you love. If you want to save time in the morning, add the toppings the night before you want to enjoy the overnight oats.
  • Vegan: You can make this recipe vegan by using plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt and a vegan sweetener of choice.
  • Gluten-free: Make sure you buy a brand of oats that explicitly states on the package that they are gluten-free.
  • Don't use instant oats when preparing overnight oats. They have a different texture than rolled oats when they are soaked. So use old-fashioned rolled oats and you'll love the result!
