Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Apple cinnamon overnight oats are an easy, simple and healthy breakfast made by soaking rolled oats overnight in maple syrup sweetened spiced milk and yogurt. Layer the creamy spiced oats with fresh cinnamon apples for the perfect fall breakfast that tastes like apple pie.
Equipment
- 1 microwave safe bowl or sauce pan
- 1 large mixing bowls
- 2 jars with lids or other storage containers
Ingredients
Cinnamon Apples
- 1 medium apple, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
- ⅛ "pinch" of salt
Spiced Overnight Oats
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 2 - 4 tablespoons (30 - 60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (90 g) rolled or old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Dice 1 medium apple into ¼ - ½ inch pieces. If you would like to peel the apple, make sure to do so before dicing. Add the diced apples into a large microwave safe bowl.1 medium apple, diced
- Mix cinnamon, maple syrup and salt into the apples. Make sure to coat the apples as much as possible. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and heat in the microwave for about 2 - 4 minutes or until the apples are soft and tender. Fully cool the apples before adding them into the overnight oats.1 teaspoon ground cinnamon , 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup, ⅛ "pinch" of salt
- Add the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix well to combine. Stir the oats into the mixture until well combined. If the apples are still cooling, cover the overnight oats bowl and transfer to the fridge until you are ready to assemble the overnight apple oats.1 cup (240 ml) milk , 1 cup greek yogurt , 2 - 4 tablespoons (30 - 60 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon , ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt , 1 cup (90 g) rolled or old fashioned oats
- Assemble the overnight apple cinnamon oats by layering the oats and apples in this order: oats, apples and remaining oats. Reserve some of the cooked apples to top the oats with before serving. Cover the container and transfer the apple cinnamon overnight oats to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- When it’s time to serve, top the overnight cinnamon apple oats with your preferred toppings and enjoy. I love topping mine with the reserved cooked apples, chopped nuts or nut butter.
Notes
Store: Place the overnight apple oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 - 4 days. If you plan on storing these apple oats for the week, I suggest adding all the apples as the top layer rather than layering them into the overnight oats.
Serve: Top the chilled overnight oats with your preferred toppings such as more fresh apples, granola or nut butter.
