Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ⅔ cup almond milk any plant based or dairy
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 2-4 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized bowl combine the rolled oats, milk, applesauce, sweetener, and cinnamon. Mix in the chia seeds if you're adding that (optional).
  • Cover the bowl and place in the fridge or you can divide the oats mixture between two mason jars. Give the oats another stir if you're using chia seeds since they like to clump together.
  • Let the mix set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, you can add garnishes such as chopped apples, raisins, chopped nuts, or cinnamon. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The macros (carbs, protein, fat, fiber) are only for the base recipe including chia seeds. The toppings would be extra.
  • Make more: This recipe makes 2 servings, cut the ingredients in half if you just want to make one. Likewise, you can double the recipe for 4 servings or 3x for 6 servings.
  • To increase protein: Serve the oats over vanilla Greek yogurt or mix in ½ scoop of vanilla protein powder (or to taste). You can also swap ½ of the applesauce for yogurt. You can also eat these as is and just add protein on the side like chicken breakfast sausage, turkey bacon, or eggs. Adding a ½ cup of lowfat Greek yogurt will add: 65 calories, 8 more g of protein, 2 g fat, 4 carbs, and 0 fiber.
  • Sweetness level: If you have sweetened applesauce, you can skip the maple syrup or honey. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. 
  • Do not use either quick oats or steel cut oats for this recipe, they won't turn out the same.
