Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture.
  • 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk Can substitute with any milk of choice.
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds Helps to thicken the oats and adds fiber.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For added flavor.
Apple Pie Flavoring
  • 1 large Apple Peeled, cored, and diced into small pieces.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup Can substitute with honey or agave syrup.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Optional, for extra warmth.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice To prevent the apple from browning.
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts For crunch and healthy fats.
  • 1/4 cup Raisins or Dried Cranberries Optional, for added sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt For creaminess and protein.

Method
 

Prepare the Oats Base
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are mixed evenly.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb some liquid and thicken the oats.
Add Apple Pie Flavoring
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the diced apple with lemon juice, cinnamon, maple syrup, and nutmeg. This will enhance the flavor of the apples and prevent browning.
  2. Fold the apple mixture into the oats base, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed.
Assemble and Refrigerate
  1. Divide the mixture evenly into four jars or containers with lids. Seal them tightly.
  2. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
Serve with Toppings
  1. In the morning, remove the jars from the refrigerator. Stir the oats to combine any settled ingredients.
  2. Top each serving with chopped walnuts, raisins or dried cranberries, and a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.

Notes

These overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences.
