Prepare this no-bake apple cinnamon overnight oats recipe for a simple, make-ahead breakfast that lasts up to five days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1 small apple, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup Greek yogurt for protein boost

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, applesauce or diced apple, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. If using, stir in the protein powder or Greek yogurt until fully mixed.
  3. Seal the container tightly and shake well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the mixture. If it seems too thick, add a splash more milk.
  6. Serve cold directly from the jar. Top with extra cinnamon or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk and maple syrup.
  • This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it excellent for meal prepping.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, dice the apple very small.
