Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (or any milk alternative)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/2 apple, chopped
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a jar or container, mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add Apples and Caramel: Place the chopped apple pieces on top of the oat mixture and drizzle evenly with caramel sauce to infuse flavor as it soaks.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick for your preference, add a splash of milk and stir to loosen the texture.
- Serve with Extras: Before serving, optionally drizzle with additional caramel sauce or honey to enhance sweetness and enjoy your cozy, fall-inspired breakfast.

- Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe vegan.
- Add nuts or almond butter on top for extra protein and crunch.
- Adjust the amount of caramel sauce to control sweetness and sugar content.
- Make multiple servings at once for convenient meal prep throughout the week.
