Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or soy)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced apple (about 1 small apple)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together well.
  2. Add the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the jar.
  3. Stir everything thoroughly until the chia seeds and oats are fully mixed with the liquid.
  4. Fold in the finely diced apple pieces.
  5. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
  7. Enjoy this cold oats recipe straight from the jar.

Notes

  • For a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt before chilling.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, you can microwave the diced apples with the cinnamon for 30 seconds before mixing them in.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan if you use plant-based milk.
  • These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep on the go.
