  3. Add the butter (if using) and let it melt.
  4. Add the apples, spice, salt, and water.
  5. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely before mixing with the oats.
Chia Oat Base
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooled apple mixture, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and protein powder. Mix until smooth.
  2. Stir in the oats and chia seeds until evenly combined.
  3. Divide evenly into 4 jars.
Cinnamon Yogurt Topping
  1. Mix all ingredients together until smooth and spread evenly over each jar.
  2. Add optional toppings.

  • Fiber: ~10.5 g (38% DV) thanks to the oats, chia seeds, and apples.
  • Iron: ~2.8 mg (16% DV) primarily from the oats and chia seeds.
  • Potassium: ~610 mg (13% DV) from the yogurt, apples, and oats.
  • Omega-3 fats (ALA): Chia seeds contribute roughly 3–4 g of ALA omega-3s per serving, well above the daily recommended intake.
