  • Total Time: 8 hours (including refrigeration)
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups cored and chopped apple (preferably Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup nonfat milk
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Optional Garnishes

  • Additional apple chunks
  • Dried cranberries
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Extra milk to thin, if desired

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the chopped apples, old-fashioned oats, nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, nonfat milk, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly to evenly combine all the ingredients, ensuring the oats are well coated and mixed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. This resting time allows the oats and apples to soften as they absorb the moisture from the yogurt and milk, resulting in a creamy and flavorful mixture.
  3. Serve Chilled: When ready to eat, serve the oats chilled directly from the refrigerator. Optionally, garnish with extra apple chunks, cranberries, and chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor. Add a splash of extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Notes

  • Honeycrisp apples are recommended for their crisp texture and balanced sweetness, but any sweet-tart apple variety can be used.
  • Old-fashioned oats provide the best texture for overnight oats; avoid instant oats as they can become overly mushy.
  • Use nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt and nonfat milk to keep this recipe light and reduce fat content.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of brown sugar or substituting with honey or maple syrup.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt and milk.
