A comforting and easy overnight oats recipe that tastes like apple pie with a crunchy cinnamon streusel topping. Perfect for busy mornings and cozy fall breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (can swap for dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced (Fuji or Honeycrisp preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Cinnamon streusel topping:
  • ¼ cup (22g) rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) flour (all-purpose or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) cold cubed butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Whisk until fully blended (about 3 minutes).
  2. Peel and dice 1 medium apple into small cubes (about ½-inch pieces). Fold gently into the oat mixture (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Add 2 tablespoons cold cubed butter and rub into dry ingredients with fingers or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about 5 minutes).
  4. Spoon the oat mixture into glass jars or containers, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon streusel topping on each jar.
  5. Cover jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir oats gently if desired or enjoy as-is. Optionally top with extra fresh apple slices or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats get too mushy. Cold butter is key for crumbly streusel topping. Lemon juice prevents apple browning. Add streusel topping fresh each morning for crunch. Can toast topping lightly before serving if softened overnight. Vegan and gluten-free adaptations available.
