Helpful Tips

• Avoid using granny smith apples for this recipe, they are a bit too tart. Any sweeter red apple variety works well in these overnight oats.

• Dried cranberries work best in this recipe since they soften in the oats overnight, and add a sweet, chewy texture.

• Flax meal is my favorite for this recipe because it thickens the oats and adds a subtle, cozy fall flavor. If you don't have flax meal, chia seeds or flax seeds make a great substitute.

• To make these oats dairy free, omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead.

• If omitting yogurt, I like to add a mashed banana to maintain a creamy texture.

• I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
