Everything you need to know for How to Make Overnight Oats with 10 Flavors! This super easy make ahead breakfast is perfect for meal prepping.

Mix together all the ingredients for the overnight oats base in a 1 pint/2 cup mason jar or 2 cup container of your choice.
Choose which flavor you'd like and mix the ingredients into the overnight oats base. You can leave any of the fruit on top as well, but I recommend mixing the spices in. If you're using sliced banana as a topping, add that right before serving.
For the apple pie version, add the chopped apple to a small saucepan along with the cinnamon and orange juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, partially cover with a lid and simmer on low until the apple is tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, 6-8 minutes.
Let the apple pie mixture cool before stirring half of it into your overnight oats base, and top with the remaining half, then refrigerate overnight.
Once you have your flavor of choice mixed in, refrigerate overnight before eating. This step is necessary to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and soak up the liquid.
These overnight oats will keep up to 4 days, but are best in the first 2-3 days.

Notes
To make a larger 4-serving batch, measure out 2 cups oats, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 cups milk, and 1 1/3 cups yogurt. Then top each of the 4 servings individually with different flavors. Or choose one flavor times 4 for your toppings.The nutrition facts were calculated for the PBJ flavor, and to reduce calories you could use 1 tbsp nut butter.
