Directions

1. Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup or honey (if using), apple and cinnamon into a jar with a lid. Stir ingredients together. Place in the fridge the night before traveling.  
2. The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove the lid and stir to combine. (You can also simply shake the jar.)  If oatmeal is too thick, more milk can be added to make it less dense.
3. Add any additional toppings you wish to use, then eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl if preferred.
