Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 large sweet apple, diced (ideal choices are Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey, for sweetness)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (feel free to use any nuts you prefer)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries

A small pinch of salt

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

Instructions
 

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, maple syrup (or honey), Greek yogurt (if you're using it), and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.

    Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins or dried cranberries, ensuring that they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

      Portion the oat mixture into two to four jars or containers, each with a lid, ensuring they are evenly filled.

        Secure the lids on the containers and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for a minimum of 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.

          In the morning, remove the containers from the refrigerator and stir the oats thoroughly. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a splash of almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

            Serve the oats in bowls or enjoy them directly from the jars. Top each serving with additional diced apples, a drizzle of almond butter, and a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired for added flair and nutrition.
