Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
- Peel and dice 1 medium apple into small, bite-sized cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional). Mix well to combine.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the oat mixture without over-stirring.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers, leaving space at the top.
- Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes
Use rolled oats for best creamy texture; chia seeds are optional but add thickness and fiber. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey. For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. Microwave gently to warm without drying out. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days.
