1 serving
Ingredients
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- ¾ cup plant-based milk almond, oat, or soy
- ½ apple grated or diced
- ½ apple sliced (for topping)
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans toasted if you like
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey
- Optional: Yogurt or nut butter for serving
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and plant-based milk. Add the grated or diced apple and stir to combine.
- Sweeten it up: Add 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey, depending on your preferred sweetness.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover and refrigerate the oats overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the flavors meld and the oats absorb the milk.
- Top and serve: The next morning, stir the oats and top with sliced apples and toasted walnuts or pecans. Optionally, add a spoonful of yogurt or nut butter for extra creaminess.
Notes
Toast your nuts for a deeper flavor and extra crunch.
For a richer texture, add a dollop of nut butter or a scoop of yogurt.
