Ingredients

Scale

Base

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed from 3 Valencia oranges)
Pinch of fine salt

Mix-ins

2 tablespoons vegan Greek yogurt (plus extra for garnish/topping)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 small lemon)
1/2 Honeycrisp apple, grated with skin on (about 1/4 cup for oats + extra for topping)
1/4 cup raw or toasted walnuts, roughly chopped (plus more for garnish)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Garnish

1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Extra vegan Greek yogurt
Extra grated apple
Extra chopped walnuts

Instructions

The night before: Add the rolled oats to a covered glass container along with the freshly squeezed orange juice and a pinch of fine salt. Stir briefly to mix, then cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the juice.
In the morning: Remove the soaked oats from the fridge. Stir in the vegan Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, grated apple, roughly chopped walnuts, pure maple syrup, and ground cinnamon until all ingredients are evenly combined. The mixture should be creamy with a balanced sweetness and citrus tang.
Garnish and serve: Top the oat mixture with additional fresh blueberries, a dollop of vegan Greek yogurt, grated apple, and chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately for a refreshing, protein-rich start to your day.

Notes

You can substitute the vegan Greek yogurt with regular Greek yogurt if not following a vegan diet.
Using fresh-squeezed orange juice enhances flavor but store-bought 100% orange juice can be used as a shortcut.
Grating the apple with the skin on provides extra fiber and nutrients.
Walnuts can be toasted for a richer flavor before adding.
Adjust maple syrup quantity based on preferred sweetness level.
This recipe keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
