SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE APPLE CINNAMON OVERNIGHT OATS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this nutritious breakfast (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Rolled oats – can also use quick oats, old-fashioned oats, or certified gluten-free oats.
• Chia Seeds – They help thicken the overnight oats by absorbing some of the liquid that might be seeping from the almond milk. They also add healthy fats to the recipe!
• Ground cinnamon
• Nutmeg – can eliminate the cinnamon and nutmeg and use apple pie spice instead.
• Whey Protein powder – My favourite protein is PEScience protein powder and you can use code BAILEY at checkout for a special deal on all their products! They have really good vegan protein powder and chocolate protein powder too.
• Milk – I prefer unsweetened almond milk as it has a very neutral flavour, but any non-dairy milk will work here. Cashew milk, coconut milk, oat milk, hemp milk or soy milk can be used and regular dairy milk will do the job as well if you would prefer to use that.
• Pure maple syrup 
• Pure vanilla extract
• Plain greek yogurt
• White chocolate chips – you can use a vegan brand for dairy-free.
• Juicy apples – that are sautéed with coconut oil and cinnamon.
• Optional – unsweetened apple sauce, collagen peptides, brown sugar, drizzle of almond butter, apple pie filling, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THIS MEAL PREP BREAKFAST

1. Add all oat ingredients to a bowl or jar. Stir well and refrigerate while you get the apple topping ready. 
2. In a small frying pan, add the diced apples, maple syrup and water. Sauté over medium low heat until apples have softened 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and divide the apples into 2 sections. 
3. Remove oats from refrigerator and mix one half of the apple mixture into the oats.  Put back in fridge overnight to set (or minimum of 4 hours). Refrigerate the other half of the apples in a separate container. 
4. In the morning, heat the second half of the apples and top over oats. You can also add Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or whatever your heart desires! Enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Texture: If you like your oats a bit thicker, reduce the milk slightly or add more chia seeds.
• Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste. If you’re a sweet tooth like me, a little extra drizzle never hurts.
• Serving: These oats are great cold, but if you’re in the mood for something warm, pop them in the microwave for a minute or so. It’s like having warm apple pie for breakfast.
• Choose the Right Oats: Use rolled oats for the perfect texture. Instant oats can get too mushy, while steel-cut oats won’t soften enough overnight.
• Don’t Skip the Spices: The cinnamon and nutmeg are what give these oats that apple pie vibe, so don’t skimp! You can also add a pinch of allspice or cloves for extra warmth.

STORING THE LEFTOVER APPLE PIE OATMEAL

Storing leftover Apple Pie Overnight Oats is easy and convenient. Keep them in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. 

If you’ve made a large batch, portion them out into individual servings for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. If you prefer your oats warm, just pop them in the microwave for about a minute before eating. 

To keep the texture just right, avoid adding extra toppings like nuts or granola until you’re ready to enjoy them, so they stay crunchy.
