Description

A refreshing and nutritious Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe that combines creamy Greek yogurt, rolled oats, chia seeds, and sweet apple with a touch of warm cinnamon. This quick no-cook breakfast is perfect for busy mornings and can be easily customized with your choice of milk and toppings.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/3 cup Milk of Choice
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Maple Syrup or Honey
  • 1/3 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Sea Salt
  • 1/2 small Apple, finely shredded

Optional Toppings

  • 1/2 tablespoon Chopped Walnuts


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup or honey, rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and finely shredded apple into a bowl or jar. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and chill in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a creamy and thick texture.
  3. Serve: In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. Serve cold, optionally topped with extra sliced apple and chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use any milk you prefer: dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk work well.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the walnuts before adding as a topping.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep; you can make multiple servings ahead of time.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
