Directions
- 1
In a small jar or container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon.
- 2
Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the oats are submerged in the liquid.
- 3
Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid completely.
- 4
The next morning, remove the jar from the refrigerator. Give the oats a gentle stir.
- 5
Layer in the chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and diced apple over the oats. You can mix them in or create distinct layers for visual appeal.
- 6
Sprinkle with fresh lemon zest for a bright finish, adding another layer of flavor.
- 7
Serve chilled. These oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
