Equipment

  • 1 mason jar or small airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • ½ apple finely diced (Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, your choice)
  • ⅓ cup old fashioned rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup see more ideas for added sweetness below
  • ¾ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the ingredients in a mason jar or other storage container with a lid in this order: rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon, peanut butter, diced apples, maple syrup, and plant milk.

Notes

    • Storage. Store your cinnamon apple overnight oats in a sealed container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Before serving, give them a good stir and adjust the consistency with a splash of milk if needed.
    • Overnight Soaking. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator overnight for the oats to absorb flavors and achieve a delicious texture.
    • Apple Selection. Opt for a crisp, sweet, or sweet-tart apple for the best results, though any variety will work.
    • Applesauce Substitute. Substitute apples with unsweetened applesauce using a 1:1 ratio for added convenience.
    • Gluten-Free Option: For a gluten-free version, ensure the oats are certified gluten-free, as some oats may be cross-contaminated with gluten during processing.
    • Customizable Add-Ins. Enhance your oats with nutmeg, ground ginger, banana, cashew butter, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, homemade granola, or vegan Greek yogurt.
    • Sweetening Options. Sweeten your oats with date syrup, agave syrup, chopped dates, raisins, dried cranberries, or apricots.
    • Nutty Extras. Before serving, top with hazelnuts, almonds, toasted cashews, or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
    • Adjusting Consistency. Add more non-dairy milk to achieve your preferred thickness.
    • Batch Preparation. Make a large batch in a covered bowl to serve a crowd.
    • Quick Prep. If you forget to prepare the night before, stir all ingredients together and let them soak for at least 2 hours before serving.
    • Warm Option. Heat your overnight oats on the stove or in the microwave if you prefer a warm breakfast.
    • See the post above for more substitutions and variations ideas.
