Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats, or quick oats (43 g)
1 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk) (240ml)
1 small apple* , grated with skin on (discard core)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon chopped almonds , or hazelnuts
1 Tablespoon golden raisins

Optional Add-Ins:

ground cinnamon , to taste
1 scoop vanilla protein powder*
drizzle of honey or maple syrup
small scoop plain Greek yogurt , for extra creaminess
Seeds: pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds
Fresh berries

Instructions

Combine oats and milk: For quick oats, let them soak for a few minutes, then add toppings and enjoy! For regular rolled oats, soak in milk for a few hours, or overnight.
Add Toppings: Remove from fridge and stir in grated apple and lemon juice (I always stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder, too!) Top with chopped nuts and raisins. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup, if desired, or any of our other add-in ideas.

Notes

Apples: use any small apple you have on hand. Crisp, slightly tart and sweet apples are traditional, like Honey crisp , Gala, pink lady or braeburn.

Protein Powder: I love vanilla protein powder from Clean Simple Eats. Use code "FROMSCRATCH" for 10% off.

Gluten-Free: Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free oats.

Make Ahead Instructions: I love to meal prep several containers for breakfast, lunch, or a ready to eat snack.

Storing Instructions: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, for best results.
