Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin coconut oil
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus extra for serving
- pinch kosher salt
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus extra as needed
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt, I use 2% bc that’s what I always have on hand
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans, optional
Instruction
- Heat the coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the diced apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the apple has softened and caramelized. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, almond milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and vanilla. Stir in the cooled apple mixture.
- Cover the bowl with a bowl cover or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Give the cold oats a stir. They will be thick, so add a splash of almond milk to achieve a looser texture if you wish. Top with pecans, if using, and extra cinnamon, if you wish.
