Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled Old Fashioned oats (do not use steel cut or quick cooking)
- 1 cup milk of choice (2%, oat or almond milk)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- ¾ cup chopped crisp tart apple (like Pink Lady)
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
- Chopped pecans, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a glass dish with a cover, place the oats, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, chia seeds, apple, cinnamon, and salt, and stir to combine. (If you’d like, you can divide the mixture into two half pint jars with covers here.)
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. The oats are best the next day, but you can store 2 to 3 days (the texture becomes more sticky). This oatmeal is meant to be enjoyed cold straight from the refrigerator. Add toppings and enjoy! If you’d like, you also can microwave the jar for about 40 to 60 seconds.
Notes
*It’s best to use rolled oats for this overnight oats recipe. They result in the best texture and a creamy consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats: I’ve tried this recipe with steel-cut oats, and they don’t soften enough.
