Description

A wholesome and easy-to-make Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe perfect for a nutritious and delicious breakfast. Combining old-fashioned oats, fresh apples, warming cinnamon, and optional ingredients like Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and natural sweeteners, this no-cook dish is prepared in advance and enjoyed cold or at room temperature, making mornings effortless and flavorful.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)

Fruit and Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh apple
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Your Base Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, add the old-fashioned oats, milk (or plant-based milk), and Greek yogurt if using. Stir thoroughly to blend these ingredients into a creamy base layer for your overnight oats.
  2. Add the Apple and Cinnamon: Gently fold in the chopped fresh apple pieces and sprinkle in the ground cinnamon. This step infuses natural sweetness and warm spice into your oat mixture.
  3. Sweeten and Boost: If you prefer sweeter oats, drizzle maple syrup or honey over the mixture. For added nutrition and texture, stir in chia seeds or flaxseeds, which also help thicken the oats as they soak.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This chilling period allows the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors fully, resulting in a soft, delicious consistency.
  5. Ready to Enjoy: The next morning, give your Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats a good stir. Add any extra toppings of your choice, then enjoy immediately at home or as a convenient breakfast on the go.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats will become too mushy.
  • Greek yogurt is optional but adds creaminess and protein.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds provide extra fiber and help thicken the mixture.
  • Store overnight oats in an airtight container to keep them fresh up to 2 days.
