Make mornings easy with these grab-and-go Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats. This no-bake recipe delivers cozy, apple pie flavor using wholesome ingredients, perfect for healthy meal prep that keeps you full.

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. Gather a jar or container with a lid suitable for holding one serving.
  2. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, diced apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the jar.
  3. Pour the milk over the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir everything together well until the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged and mixed.
  5. Seal the jar with the lid and shake gently to combine.
  6. Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a splash more milk.
  8. Eat cold directly from the jar. Add extra toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use plant-based milk.
  • If you want a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before chilling.
  • These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them great for batch meal prep.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, you can microwave the diced apples with the cinnamon for 30 seconds before mixing them into the oats.
