A quick and wholesome breakfast recipe featuring rolled oats soaked overnight with apples, cinnamon, Greek yogurt, and natural sweeteners for a creamy, satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (cow’s milk, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 cup / 150 g)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and finely dice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup / 150 g).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and a pinch of salt. Stir to blend evenly.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice, ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the chopped apples to the mixture and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  5. Divide the mixture into two 12-ounce (350 ml) mason jars or containers, leaving some space at the top. Seal tightly.
  6. Place the jars in the fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 for best texture.
  7. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, or extra apple slices if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; finely chop apples to avoid sogginess. Adjust sweetness after soaking. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup as sweetener. Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Stir before serving and add milk if too thick.
