Ingredients

Cinnamon Apples

  • ½ cup chopped apple about 1/2 a large apple
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • pinch of cinnamon

Overnight Oats

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½-¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup honey or your favorite sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice
  • Toppings: cinnamon apples nut butter, chopped nuts, chia or hemp seeds

Instructions

  • Add chopped apple pieces, maple syrup and cinnamon in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir together to coat apples. Heat for 30 - 60 seconds, until apples have softened a bit and look similar to baked apples. Let cool and reserve 1/4 cup of the apples to use as a topping.
  • Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon into a dish with a lid (a mason jar works great!).
  • Add 1/4 cup of the cinnamon apples to the oat mixture and stir. Place lid on jar and shake to combine a bit more.
  • Place in the fridge overnight (or just 30-60 minutes if you’re making these the morning of).
  • Remove lid from jar, add more yogurt or almond milk if the mixture seems too thick. Top with extra 1/4 cup apples and your favorite overnight oat toppings. I love adding a little nut butter or chopped nuts.

Notes

  • Oats: Rolled oats work best. Quick oats get mushy and steel cut oats don’t soften enough.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prepping on Sunday for a week of easy breakfasts.
  • Protein boost: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein. If you do, stir in a splash more milk so the oats don’t get too thick.
  • Make it vegan: Use dairy-free milk and yogurt.
