Description
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast—creamy, naturally sweet, and packed with cozy cinnamon flavor. This recipe combines crisp apples, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup into a no-cook meal that’s both satisfying and simple.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 medium apple, diced
1½ tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Dice the apple into small cubes. For a softer texture, sauté with a bit of cinnamon before using.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
3. Fold in the diced apples, reserving a few for topping.
4. Spoon the mixture into jars or containers, seal, and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours).
5. In the morning, stir and top with reserved apples and more cinnamon. Enjoy chilled or lightly warmed.
Notes
For added protein and creaminess, you can increase Greek yogurt to ¾ cup.
Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best texture contrast.
The oats can be warmed in the microwave for 30–45 seconds if you prefer them hot.
