How to Make Overnight Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup steel-cut oats, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup chopped apple (about 1/2 a medium apple), 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir well to ensure all oats are coated with liquid.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  4. In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir. If desired, warm it gently in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or on the stovetop over low heat, until heated through.
  5. Top with your favorite toppings such as extra cinnamon, chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or a drizzle of honey.
