Prepare this easy, no-bake Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe for a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like apple pie. It is perfect for meal prepping and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 small apple, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds.
  2. Add the milk, applesauce, maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and salt to the jar.
  3. Stir all ingredients together well until everything is fully mixed and the chia seeds are distributed.
  4. Fold in the finely diced fresh apple pieces.
  5. Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
  7. Eat cold directly from the jar. This is a great grab and go breakfast idea.

Notes

  • For a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt before chilling.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, you can microwave the diced apples with the cinnamon for 30 seconds before mixing them into the oats.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan if you use a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk.
  • These oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them excellent for meal prep on the go.
