5 ml (1 teaspoon) ground cinnamon

Dark chocolate (to be melted for garnish)

Butterscotch sauce (for garnish)

Preparation

In a blender, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, grated apples, and cinnamon.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Tips and tricks

Choose an apple likeAmbrosia or Cortland for the perfect balance with cinnamon.
Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours—ideally overnight—so that the flakes absorb the liquid and become creamy.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking, or add a touch of vanilla for a sweeter flavor.
Add nuts, seeds, or a little granola just before serving for a crispy texture.
Use your choice of milk or plant-based beverage to vary the flavors.
