A cozy and nourishing overnight oats recipe combining fresh apples, cinnamon, and creamy Greek yogurt for a quick, healthy breakfast that’s ready to eat in the morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy, unsweetened)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (Granny Smith or Fuji)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and a pinch of salt. Mix gently.
  2. Wash and dice one medium apple into small, bite-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch cubes).
  3. Add 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Fold in the diced apples gently to distribute evenly without smashing.
  5. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired.
  7. Optional: Add chopped nuts, extra cinnamon, or a drizzle of nut butter before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats can become mushy. Choose milk type based on desired richness and dietary needs. Soak at least 6 hours for creamy oats. Stir before refrigerating to prevent clumps. Apples should be diced to about 1/2-inch to soften but not become mushy. Optional toppings like nuts or nut butter add crunch and richness. Store in fridge up to 3 days; do not freeze.
