Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Oats Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are mixed evenly.
- 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
- 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.
- Fold the apple mixture into the oats base, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed.
Assemble and Refrigerate
- Divide the mixture evenly into four jars or containers with lids. Seal them tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
Serve with Toppings
- In the morning, remove the jars from the refrigerator. Stir the oats to combine any settled ingredients.
- 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.
