Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 medium Apple, diced (peeled or unpeeled, depending on preference)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or two individual jars if meal prepping for single servings.
Seal the container or jars tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir to ensure everything is evenly mixed. If it’s too thick for your preference, add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
Serve cold, or heat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes for a warm version. Top with chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Overnight Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal to kick off your day!
