Equipment
- 1 mason jar (or other airtight container)
Ingredients
- ½ cup diced apple (about ¼ of a large apple)
- ½ cup rolled oats (look for certified gluten-free if you are GF)
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mason jar or other container with a lid, combine oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, ½ tablespoon of the maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of the vanilla extract, and half the cinnamon. Give it a good mix to combine.
- Dice your apple. In a large bowl, combine the apple and remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla, remaining ½ tablespoon maple syrup, and remaining cinnamon. Mix to coat the apples. Heat a nonstick skillet or saucepan on medium heat. Add the apple mixture and heat, stirring, for about 3-5 minutes or until the apples fully soften.
- Add half of the cooked apples to the oat mixture and give it a good stir to combine. Top with the remaining apples.
- Store in the fridge overnight (or at least 3-4 hours) in an airtight container. When ready to serve the next morning, add your favorite toppings.
