Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (or any milk alternative)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1/2 apple, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all components are well combined.
  2. Add Toppings: Place the chopped apples on top of the oats mixture and drizzle with the caramel sauce to infuse the classic fall flavors.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  4. Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, take the oats out of the fridge and give them a good stir. Add a little more milk if the mixture is thicker than desired for easier eating.
  5. Serve with Extras: Before serving, drizzle with additional caramel sauce or honey if you prefer extra sweetness and enjoy your flavorful, ready-to-eat breakfast.

Notes

  • The recipe is easily customizable—substitute Greek yogurt and milk with dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of caramel sauce and honey.
  • Add nuts or seeds like walnuts or pumpkin seeds for added texture and nutrients.
  • Use different apple varieties to vary sweetness and tartness balance.
  • Sprinkle extra spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for enhanced flavor.
