Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 1 medium Apple
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins or dried fruit (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Stir to ensure the oats are fully soaked and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
While the oats are soaking, grate the apple using a box grater (leave the skin on for added nutrition). Immediately mix the grated apple with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Add the yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and grated apple to the softened oat mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Fold in the fresh berries, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried fruit (if using). Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 5
Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey or lemon juice as desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for a creamier texture. Divide into bowls and enjoy as is, or garnish with additional fresh berries and nuts for presentation.
