Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan)

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional topping: extra cinnamon, chopped walnuts, or fresh apple slices

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, applesauce (or diced apple), maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

  • For a vegan option, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • If you prefer a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder with the dry ingredients.
