Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup old fashioned rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Tiny pinch ground ginger
  • Tiny pinch ground cloves
  • Tiny pinch kosher salt
  • ½ medium apple, cored and diced (peeling optional; use any variety, such as Honeycrisp)
  • ½ cup Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk
  • 1½ teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal (or substitute chia seeds)

Optional Toppings

  • Toasted almonds or walnuts
  • Dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots
  • Additional maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a clean jar or bowl, add ⅓ cup old fashioned rolled oats, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, tiny pinches of ground ginger and ground cloves, and a tiny pinch of kosher salt. Stir these ingredients to mix the spices evenly with the oats.
  2. Add fruit and liquids: Layer ½ medium diced apple into the jar, followed by ½ cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1½ teaspoons pure maple syrup. Mix gently to integrate the ingredients without mashing the apple pieces.
  3. Incorporate yogurt and flaxseed: Add ½ cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal (or chia seeds) to the jar. Stir well to combine until the mixture is uniform and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jar or cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak and absorb the liquids for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor.
  5. Serve and garnish: The next morning, stir the oats well. Add optional toppings such as toasted almonds, walnuts, dried fruit, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup according to your preference before serving. Enjoy chilled.
