Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
Add the yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and grated apple to the softened oat mixture. Stir well to combine.
Fold in the fresh berries, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried fruit (if using). Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey or lemon juice as desired.
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.
