Overnight oats are simply rolled oats soaked in liquid overnight, allowing them to absorb the moisture and soften in texture. This method transforms raw oats into a creamy, ready-to-eat dish that is not only satisfying but also packed with nutritional benefits. Oats are rich in fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which can help lower cholesterol levels, promote healthy digestion, and keep you feeling full longer. Additionally, they are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 medium apple, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended for a good balance of tartness and sweetness)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for a warm spice touch)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for a creamy topping)

Chopped walnuts or pecans (for a crunchy topping)

Extra apple slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if you’re using it) until well combined.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well to ensure that all the oats are evenly soaked and coated.

      Incorporate Apples: Gently fold in the diced apple pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.

        Divide and Store: Spoon the oat mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers. Leave a bit of space at the top, as the oats will expand while soaking overnight.

          Chill: Seal the jars or containers securely and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften perfectly.

            Serve: The next morning, give the oats a good stir to combine the ingredients. If the mixture is too thick for your preference, add an extra splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

              Top Off: Serve your Overnight Apple Pie Oats in bowls. Add a generous dollop of Greek yogurt (if using), sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch, and garnish with extra apple slices. You can also drizzle more maple syrup on top if you like it sweeter.

                Enjoy: Dive into your delicious and nutritious Overnight Apple Pie Oats for a wonderful start to your day!
