What You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk)
- 1/2 cup diced apples (Honeycrisp or Gala work great!)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
For the Apple Pie Topping:
- 1 small apple, diced
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
Instructions:
-
Prep Your Oats: In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully mixed.
-
Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
-
Chill Overnight: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This gives the oats time to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
-
Apple Pie Topping: When you’re ready to eat, quickly sauté the apple topping. Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add the coconut oil, and toss in the diced apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with maple syrup. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized.
-
Assemble and Enjoy: Top your overnight oats with the warm, sautéed apple topping, and if you're feeling extra indulgent, add a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts for a bit of crunch.
