In a bowl combine all the ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, ⅔ cup plain yogurt, ½ cup chopped apple, 1 Tbsp honey, 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp chia seeds, 1tsp vanilla extract, ¼ tsp sea salt. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Pour the oats into a container and seal with a lid. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, but preferrably overnight to let oats absorb all the liquid.
In the morning, take out from the fridge and give a quick stir. Add any toppings just before serving if desired. Overnight oats are eaten cold with a spoon.
Recipe Notes:
It’s important to let the oats soak for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and create the right creamy texture.
I recommend using rolled oats instead of steel-cut or instant oats. Rolled oats absorb liquid better and create a creamier texture.
Overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Give the oats a stir just before serving to redistribute the liquid.
