¼ cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, diced apple, maple syrup or honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until everything is well incorporated.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator to soak and thicken for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors fully.
Serve and Garnish: In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge and stir gently. Add your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, extra apple slices, or a dollop of nut butter before serving to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats for the best texture and creaminess.
This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it ideal for meal prepping several breakfasts at once.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your taste preference.
