A cozy and easy overnight oats recipe featuring creamy oats, cinnamon-spiced apples, and a touch of maple syrup, perfect for a warm and comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – whole milk, almond, or oat milk
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g) – or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, toss the diced apple with ground cinnamon and maple syrup. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften and infuse flavors.
  2. In a jar or mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  3. Add milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the oats mixture. Stir gently until well combined and oats are submerged.
  4. Add the cinnamon-maple apples to the oat mixture and stir gently to distribute without breaking up the apples.
  5. Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Taste and add more maple syrup if desired.
  7. Optional: Top with chopped nuts, extra cinnamon, or nut butter before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; chia seeds are optional but help thicken. Peel apples for softer texture or leave skin on for more fiber. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Warm gently if preferred. Maple syrup preferred over sugar for natural sweetness.
