A simple, cozy, and healthy overnight oats recipe featuring diced fresh apples and warming cinnamon, perfect for a quick and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (about 1/4-inch cubes)
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) – or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Dice the apple: Wash and core one medium apple, then cut it into small, even pieces (about 1/4-inch cubes).
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl or directly in your jar, combine rolled oats, ground cinnamon, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk and Greek yogurt. Add vanilla extract and maple syrup or honey. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Fold in diced apples: Gently mix in the apple pieces, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the oats.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the fridge overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  6. Optional morning toppings: In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with chopped nuts, extra cinnamon, or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Adjust milk quantity if oats are too dry or too soggy. Chia seeds are optional but help thicken and add fiber. Can substitute apples with berries or other fruits seasonally. Store in fridge up to 3-4 days. Can be eaten cold or warmed gently.
