Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 medium apple, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a tart flavor)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: crushed walnuts, extra diced apples, a drizzle of nut butter, or unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed.

    Gently fold in the diced apple until the pieces are evenly mixed throughout the oats. Take care not to mush the apples.

      Carefully transfer the mixture into a mason jar or individual airtight containers for easy storage. Seal them tightly to prevent any air from entering.

        Place the containers in the refrigerator overnight, or for a minimum of 6 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the almond milk and for all the flavors to blend harmoniously.

          When you’re ready to enjoy, take the oats out of the fridge and give them a good stir. If the mixture appears too thick for your liking, feel free to add a splash of almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

            Serve the oatmeal in bowls, adding your favorite toppings: sprinkle crushed walnuts for a nice crunch, add more diced apples for freshness, drizzle nut butter for richness, or top with coconut flakes for a lovely tropical touch.
