This recipe for apple cinnamon overnight oats couldn't be easier to make. Prep takes only five minutes! —Sarah Farmer, Taste of Home Executive Culinary Director

Ingredients

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 medium Gala or Honeycrisp apple, chopped
1 tablespoon raisins
1 cup 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash salt
Toasted, chopped nuts, optional

Directions

In a small container or Mason jar, combine all ingredients. Seal; refrigerate overnight. Makes 1 serving.

Sarah's Notes:

Many folks love it cold, but I like to heat it up a little since I'm not a big fan of it right out of the fridge.

Go ahead and use any type of milk you'd like. Unsweetened almond milk adds a nice subtle nuttiness.

Add a handful of nuts for crunch, flavor and extra health benefits.

I like to layer my jars, so I started with half of everything. Oats first, salt, cinnamon next. Then I topped that with 1/2 a teaspoon of chia seeds. Next came the apple and raisins. Repeat once more. Then I pour in the milk, which in my case was almond milk. You could also use shelled pumpkin or sunflower seeds if you want some crunch.
