Prepare this easy, no-bake Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe for a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like apple pie. It is perfect for meal prepping and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, omit for vegan)
  • 1/2 small apple, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 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, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt to the jar.
  3. Stir all ingredients well until everything is mixed. Make sure the chia seeds are not clumped at the bottom.
  4. Gently fold in the finely diced apple.
  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. Eat cold directly from the jar.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use almond, soy, or oat milk and omit the Greek yogurt.
  • If you want a protein boost, add one scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before chilling.
  • These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 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.
