Equipment

  • 1 Small jar or bowl with a lid
  • 1 Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk
  • ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds see notes for substitutions
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter unsweetened
  • ½-1 tablespoon pure maple syrup see notes for substitutions
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a jar or container with a lid, mix oats, dairy-free milk, applesauce, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  • Give it a good stir, cover it, and pop it in the fridge overnight or for at least 3-4 hours. Drizzle with extra peanut butter, sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a dash of cinnamon. Dig in and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store your applesauce oatmeal in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep toppings separate and add them fresh just before enjoying them for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Perfect consistency. Achieve the ideal texture by adjusting the oats-to-liquid ratio. If you prefer thicker oats, reduce the liquid slightly, or add more for a creamier consistency.
  • Overnight soaking time. Allow the oats to soak for at least 2 hours, but overnight is recommended for the best consistency and to let the flavors meld together.
  • Gluten-free. Check for the gluten-free label and ensure the oats are certified gluten-free if needed. Some oats may be processed where gluten items are handled, so it's essential to confirm their gluten-free status.
  • Nutty crunch. Sprinkle chopped nuts, seeds, or granola on top for added texture and healthy fats.
  • Add toppings last. Spend a few extra seconds in the morning to add fresh toppings for a decadent and visually appealing finish.
  • Warm it up. If you prefer a warm breakfast, microwave your oats for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring halfway through.
  • Make a double batch! Overnight oats are stored perfectly in the fridge for up to 4 days, so you can grab and go all week long.
  • See the post above for more substitutions, variations, and topping ideas.
