PREPARATION
- Prepare The Apple: Wash and dice ½ an apple into small cubes. Leave the skin on for extra fibre and colour or peel if preferred.
- Combine Oats And Cinnamon: In a clean jar or small container, add ½ cup of rolled oats and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir to distribute the spice evenly.
- Add The Apple And Syrup: Mix in the chopped apple and drizzle 1 teaspoon of maple syrup over the mixture. Stir to coat the apple pieces and oats.
- Pour In The Milk: Add ½ cup of your preferred milk (almond, oat, soy or dairy) and stir thoroughly until everything is well combined.
- Seal And Chill: Cover the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve And Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oat jar and enjoy it chilled or microwave it for 30 to 45 seconds for a warmer and comforting option.

TIPS
- Use Crisp Apples: Choose firm varieties like Gala, Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best crunch and sweetness.
- Mix Well: Stir all ingredients thoroughly before sealing the jar to ensure even soaking and flavour.
- Portion Smartly: Use jars with clear measurements or portion control lines to keep your preparation consistent.
- Warm It Up: If you prefer hot oats, microwave the jar (if microwave-safe) for a warm and cinnamon-scented meal.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Taste your apples first and if they’re very sweet, reduce or skip the maple syrup.
VARIATIONS
- Add Seeds Or Nuts: Sprinkle in chia seeds, flaxseeds or chopped walnuts for added omega-3 fatty acids and crunch.
- Swap The Fruit: Try pears, peaches or berries in place of apples for seasonal changes.
- Creamier Texture: Replace part of the milk with Greek yoghurt or coconut milk for a thicker and richer result.
- Spice Blend: Use pumpkin spice or a mix of nutmeg and ginger with the cinnamon for a festive flavour twist.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of unflavoured or vanilla protein powder to make the jar more filling.
- Dessert-Inspired: Add a teaspoon of almond butter and a few dark chocolate chips for an indulgent option.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
- Avoid Freezing: Oats and chopped apple lose texture when thawed from frozen, so it’s best to refrigerate only.
