Ingredients
  

For the Oats Base
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats The star ingredient that provides texture and heartiness.
  • 1 cup Milk Use almond milk for a dairy-free alternative or whole milk for a creamier taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Adds thickness and an extra boost of fiber and omega-3s.
For the Flavor
  • 1/2 cup Applesauce Sweetens the mix naturally; Greek yogurt can be a protein-packed substitute.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup A touch of sweetness that's adjustable based on your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon The key spice that imparts warmth and aroma.
  • pinch Nutmeg Optional for that extra aromatic depth.
For the Freshness
  • 1 Apple (diced) Fresh fruit that adds texture and flavor.
