Prep Time:5 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp milk/liquid of choice I like to use 1/2 soy milk + 1/2 water
  • 1 apple grated
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

Optional

  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1-2 scoops protein powder

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl or jar and mix to combine. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to thicken.
  • Once thickened, check the consistency and thin with extra milk or water if desired.

Serving ideas

  • Overnight oats can be served cold or warm. If you prefer warm oats, mix in around ¼ cup water and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave another 30 seconds or until cooked to your liking. Add extra milk as desired.
  • Top with fresh or frozen fruit, jam, nuts/seeds, or nut/seed butter.
