Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
1/2 apple, diced
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg

Instructions
In a jar or airtight container, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt.
Stir in the diced apple and mix well to combine.
Seal the container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if desired for a thinner consistency.
Top with chopped nuts, more apple, or a drizzle of nut butter before serving.
