Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1 medium firm sweet apple
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 3 Tbsp chopped pecans
• 1/4 tsp extra cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
2. 2Stir in the oats and chia seeds until every flake is coated and no dry pockets remain.
3. 3Core the apple and cut half of it into small dice; toss the dice with the lemon juice.
4. 4Fold the diced apple into the oat mixture.
5. 5Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids.
6. 6Thinly slice the remaining apple half and lay the raw slices on top of each jar for a fresh finish.
7. 7Seal and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight so the oats soften and the flavors meld.
8. 8In the morning, give each jar a quick stir if you prefer a creamier texture, or leave the layers intact.
9. 9Top with the chopped pecans and a light dusting of extra cinnamon.
10. 10Eat cold straight from the jar or warm gently in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds if you want a cozy bowl.
11. 11If the oats seem thick after chilling, loosen with a splash of milk before serving.
