Wake up to cozy flavors with these Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats. This recipe is perfect for busy mornings, requires no cooking, and tastes like apple pie. It is a high fiber, make-ahead breakfast you will enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 small apple, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Stir well until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Make sure no clumps of chia seeds remain stuck together.
  3. Fold in the finely diced apple and the maple syrup, if using.
  4. Seal the container and shake or stir one last time.
  5. Place the container in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  7. Serve cold directly from the jar. Add extra toppings like nuts or seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • If you want a protein boost, add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt before chilling.
  • These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them excellent for meal prep on the go.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, you can microwave the diced apple with a tiny bit of water and cinnamon for 30 seconds before mixing it in.
