Equipment
16-ounce mason jar
Method
Add the ingredients to a 16-ounce mason jar in this order: oats, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, diced apples, almondmilk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and flaxseed. No shaking yet — just let them cozy up together!
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or up to 5 days). The oats will soften, the apples will sweeten, and the flavors will meld into something magical.
When ready to eat, give the jar a good shake or stir everything in a bowl. Add a splash more almondmilk if needed, then top with toasted nuts or dried fruit for crunch.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt. These keep beautifully for meal prep just omit fresh toppings until serving day. If your oats are too runny, let them sit another hour or stir in an extra teaspoon of chia seeds to thicken.
