Ingredients 

  • ¾ cup quick cooked oats
  • 2 tbsps chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 ¼ cup milk of choice; add more in the morning if needed
  • ½ cup plain yogurt, unsweetened
  • 1 cup diced apples

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add oats, chia seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon, and apples. Whisk together until well combined. Add the vanilla, maple syrup, yogurt, and milk.. Combine well until no lumps remain.
  • *If you prefer your oats to have more liquid versus remain chunky, add ¼ cup more milk after the oats have been soaked overnight.
  • Divide them equally into individual mason jars or glass containers. Top with additional cinnamon if desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Eat cold after the oats have been soaked. Get creative and add your choice of toppings like pecans, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, nuts, or raisins!

Notes

  • Depending on the type of milk, the consistency can vary. If you use thinner milk such as almond or skim milk, I would use ¼ cup less milk.
  • The consistency also varies on the type of oats you use. For this recipe, I used quick-cooking oats. However, if you use rolled oats, you will be okay with using less milk. 
  • When filling your jars, I recommend leaving a little room at the top to add milk or toppings for easy mixing.
