Notes
- The yogurt acts as a barrier, so either add yogurt first, then oats and the remaining ingredients, or add milk before yogurt. You could also just stir everything together too. Added liquid needs to reach the oats to soften them.
- Tart apples are great in this recipe, I used a pink lady apple. Granny smith, braeburn or other tart apples would work.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt to your preference.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the overnight oats for more flavor.
