Ingredients

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup milk (use your choice of regular, almond, soy or coconut)
  • ¼ cup yogurt (use your choice of plain, vanilla or Greek)
  • ¼ cup diced apples
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • walnuts for topping, (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the oats to a container of your choice. Pour in the milk and add the remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight. 
  • In the morning, add walnuts, additional apples and maple syrup or honey, if desired and enjoy.

Notes

  • Choose Mason Jars for Convenient Storage: Mason jars, especially the smaller sizes, are perfect for storing your single-serving overnight oats. They're airtight and portable, making your mornings easier.
  • Go Gluten-Free with Certified Oats: If you're aiming for a gluten-free version, ensure you're using certified gluten-free oats.
  • Opt for Non-Dairy Milks for Vegan Options: If you're vegan or lactose intolerant, swap out the regular milk for a plant-based alternative like almond or cashew milk.
  • Warm Up Your Oats Safely: Should you prefer your oats warm, make sure to transfer them into a microwave-safe jar if needed, remove the lid, and heat them up in the microwave.
