Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds.
  2. Add the milk, applesauce, diced apple, maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and salt to the jar.
  3. Stir all ingredients well until everything is fully mixed and the chia seeds are distributed.
  4. Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  6. Eat cold directly from the jar. Add extra cinnamon or chopped nuts before serving if you wish.

Notes

  • This recipe is naturally vegan if you use plant-based milk like almond or soy milk.
  • For a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt before chilling.
  • These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them excellent for batch meal prep.
  • 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.
