Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup unsweetened coconut, almond, or regular milk
  • 1 cup quick steel cut oats
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts plus more to garnish
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ Honeycrisp apple cut in wedges or your favorite kind!

Instructions

  • Bake in 300℉ oven for 5-7 minutes until slightly toasted.
  • In a bowl or mason jar, add oats and milk. Stir. The consistency should be liquidy.
  • Add honey, ½ teaspoon cinnamon and chia seeds. Stir again. Add ¼ cup toasted walnuts and stir.
  • Store, covered, overnight in fridge (or at least 6 hours).
  • In the morning, cut up apple into slices. Place slices in a small bowl and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Microwave for 15 seconds. Stir so cinnamon coats apples. Add apples to oats. Add remainder of walnuts and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use regular rolled oats if preferred but the texture will be creamier/mushier.
