A creamy and indulgent overnight oats recipe featuring salted caramel sauce, fresh diced apples, and a crunchy granola topping. Perfect for cozy mornings and quick breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 1 medium apple, diced (Granny Smith or Fuji)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (50g) crunchy granola
  • ½ teaspoon (1g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Dice the apple: Wash and core 1 medium apple, then chop into small, bite-sized cubes (about 5 minutes).
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a jar or bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) milk, ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (30ml) salted caramel sauce, 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup if using, and 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add oats and chia seeds: Stir in 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds, ½ teaspoon (1g) ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly so everything is evenly distributed (2 minutes).
  4. Fold in the diced apples: Add the chopped apple pieces and gently fold them into the oat mixture to keep the apples intact (1 minute).
  5. Cover and refrigerate: Seal the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours to allow oats to absorb liquid and flavors.
  6. Serve topped with granola: The next morning, stir the oats and top with ½ cup (50g) crunchy granola just before eating (2 minutes).

Notes

Use good quality salted caramel sauce for best flavor. Do not soak granola overnight to keep it crunchy. Soak oats at least 6 hours but no more than 24 hours to avoid mushy apples. Stir in a splash of milk in the morning if oats are too thick. Variations include dairy-free yogurt and milk, swapping apples for pears or peaches, adding protein powder, or topping with toasted pecans.
