Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 large apple, diced (preferably a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (or any nuts of choice)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: additional diced apples, a drizzle of almond butter, or a sprinkle of chia seeds

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, Greek yogurt (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins or dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

      Divide the mixture evenly into two or four jars or containers with lids.

        Seal the containers and place them in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

          In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they are too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve in bowls or enjoy directly from the jars, topping each serving with additional diced apples, a drizzle of almond butter, and a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
