Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce Look for organic or homemade for the freshest taste.
  • 1 cup almond milk Unsweetened almond milk works best for controlling sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds These add fiber and omega-3s.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and spice.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional, for added sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine rolled oats, applesauce, almond milk, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Stir well to break up any clumps.
  2. If desired, add honey or maple syrup for sweetness. This is optional as the applesauce itself is naturally sweet.
  3. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  5. In the morning, stir and enjoy your oats cold or heated in the microwave for about 1 minute.

Notes

These oats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also customize with different toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or granola.
