Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats recommended for best texture
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk, like oat, soy, or dairy
1/2 medium apple apple, finely diced about 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for extra flavor

Medium-sized bowl or jar with a lid
Serving containers

Method

In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a lid (like a mason jar), combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the spices and chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, Pinch salt
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add the finely diced apple. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it now. Drizzle in the maple syrup (or honey).
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 medium apple apple, finely diced, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Stir all the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of oats or chia seeds stuck at the bottom. The mixture will appear a bit thin at this stage, but the chia seeds and oats will absorb the liquid overnight.
Pour the mixture into your chosen serving containers. Individual jars, bowls, or even a larger container work well. Cover the containers tightly with lids or plastic wrap.
Place the covered containers in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for the oats and chia seeds to fully hydrate and thicken the mixture. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk. Top with your favorite additions and enjoy your delicious, ready-to-eat breakfast!

Notes

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for up to 1 month, though texture may change. Can be reheated gently if preferred warm.
