Prepare this easy, make-ahead breakfast the night before for a creamy, comforting start to your morning that tastes like apple pie. This no-cook oatmeal recipe is perfect for busy weekdays and healthy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein and creaminess)
  • 1/2 small apple, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Stir all ingredients well until fully mixed.
  3. Fold in the finely diced apple pieces.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. Add a splash more milk if the oats are too thick.
  6. Top with extra cinnamon, nuts, or a few more apple pieces before eating.

Notes

  • For a gluten free overnight oats option, confirm your rolled oats are certified gluten free.
  • To make this a high protein overnight oats recipe, use protein powder or increase the amount of Greek yogurt.
  • This recipe works well for breakfast on the go; just seal the jar tightly.
  • Use a tart apple like Granny Smith for a sharper flavor contrast.
