Description
Apple Pie Overnight Oats combine the cozy flavor of cinnamon-spiced apples with creamy oats for a nutritious make-ahead breakfast that tastes like dessert but fuels your day the healthy way.
Ingredients
½ cup chopped apple (about ½ of a large apple)
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Pinch of cinnamon
½ cup old-fashioned oats
½–¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt)
2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla flavor (Simply Organic)
½ teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice
Toppings: cinnamon apples, nut butter, chopped nuts, chia or hemp seeds
Instructions
1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped apples, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
2. Microwave for 30–60 seconds until the apples soften and resemble baked apples. Set aside and reserve about ¼ cup for topping.
3. In a mason jar or container with a lid, add oats, almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla flavor, and cinnamon. Stir to mix.
4. Add ¼ cup of the prepared cinnamon apples into the oat mixture and stir again.
5. Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate overnight (or at least 30–60 minutes if preparing the same day).
6. In the morning, stir the oats. If they are too thick, add a splash of almond milk or yogurt.
7. Top with the reserved apples, nut butter, chopped nuts, chia, or hemp seeds before serving.
Notes
Rolled oats work best for overnight oats; quick oats become mushy, and steel-cut oats remain too firm.
You can store the oats in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein and a splash more milk for creaminess.
Use alcohol-free vanilla flavor and dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe suitable for plant-based diets.
