Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess and protein)
• 1 small apple, diced
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings:

• Sliced almonds
• A drizzle of almond butter
• Raisins or dried cranberries
• Extra diced apple
• A sprinkle of granola
• Additional warm spices

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, diced apple, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a jar or bowl.

Stir until everything is well combined.

Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.

In the morning, give your oats a good stir. If they are too thick, add a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings like sliced almonds, a drizzle of almond butter, or more apple pieces for added crunch and flavor.

Recipe Variations

For a nutty twist, add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the mixture and create a peanut butter apple cinnamon overnight oats that you won’t be able to resist.

You can also transform this simple recipe into an apple pie overnight oats by adding 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of cloves.

If you’re feeling more adventurous, stir in chopped walnuts for a super yummy apple walnut overnight oats, giving it a delicious crunch.

For a protein-packed recipe, mix in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for an apple cinnamon protein overnight oats that’ll boost your day!

Lastly, for a vegan and gluten-free option, use gluten-free oats and swap the milk for almond milk or any plant-based milk. Replace the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt, and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
