Make this apple cinnamon overnight oats recipe for a healthy, make-ahead breakfast that tastes like apple pie. It is a no-bake, grab-and-go option perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup finely diced apple
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or preferred sweetener (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Add the diced apple, milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the container.
  3. Stir all ingredients together well until everything is fully mixed.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the mixture again. If the oats are too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Eat cold directly from the jar.

Notes

  • For a higher protein option, substitute half the milk with Greek yogurt or add one scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, you can microwave the diced apple with the cinnamon for 30 seconds before mixing it into the oats.
  • This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it excellent for meal prep on the go.
