½ cup milk, homemade oat milk, almond milk, water or coconut milk (coconut milk tends to over-thicken the oats so I recommend a 50/50 mix of coconut milk and water)
½ cup grated apple (I like honeycrisp or gala)
¼ cup yogurt (We use this dairy-free coconut yogurt and love it, but Greek yogurt is also a good option that makes it super creamy)
1 tbsp liquid sweetener, or more to taste (maple syrup or honey – a small amount of stevia or monk fruit could be substituted)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Additional toppings if desired: Diced apples, pecans or walnuts, extra cinnamon, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Add oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger and salt to a jar. Stir to mix.
Next, add in the yogurt, grated apple, sweetener, vanilla, and milk. Stir, then cover the jar with a lid.
Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. If you're adding spices or flavored extracts, stir them into the milk before pouring.
The next morning, add desired toppings, then serve.

Calculations are based on dairy milk and maple syrup as a sweetener. Salt and nutmeg are not factored into the estimate.
