Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats with Dried Figs
Welcome the New Year with this easy and healthy no-cook breakfast recipe. Stir up old-fashioned oats, chia seeds, and your choice of milk right in a jar. Chill in the refrigerator overnight and the next morning you’ll have thick, creamy delicious oats. Serve warm or cold topped with diced apples, dried figs, walnuts, and a drizzle of honey. You can make this recipe vegan by substituting almond milk for the liquid and maple syrup for the sweetener. Chia seeds give overnight oats a thick and creamy texture like pudding. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more milk the next morning before topping with fruit, nuts, and honey. Overnight oats can be eaten warm or cold. For warm oats, place in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds before adding the toppings. Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
