Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice - dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 Tbsp flax or chia seeds optional
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon plus a pinch for dusting
  • One drop of vanilla extract
  • 1 small apple chopped into pieces
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • A small handful of chopped walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Add your rolled oats to a large 8oz glass jar or container. If you're using flax or chia seeds stir them into the oats.
  • Add the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Pour the milk over the mixture and mix well.
  • Cover with a lid or wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is better).
  • In the morning top with chopped apple and optional walnuts. Spoon over the maple syrup and dust with extra cinnamon. You can even decorate your mason jar with a cinnamon stick and star anise!

Notes

Vegan overnight oats: Use plant-based milk.
Gluten-free overnight oats: Use gluten-free rolled oats.
Healthy overnight oats for weight loss: For lower calories use non-fat milk or even water and go easy on the walnuts.
Meal prep: Store the overnight oats without toppings in an airtight container in the fridge. The mixture will keep for up to 5 days but 2-3 is more realistic. Otherwise, the oats get really soft.
