Servings: 3
Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Apples
- ½ Tbsp butter
- 2 medium apples I prefer Gala or Fuji
- 1 tsp cinnamon divided
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1-2 Tbsp water
For the Overnight Oats
- 1 ½ cup rolled oats regular or gluten free
- 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup more or less as desired
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
- 3 tsp chia seeds optional
- ¼ tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Dice apples into bite sized pieces. (I leave the skin on but you can peel if desired.)
- Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add apples and sauté for about 4-5 minutes to soften.
- Once apples are softened, add in the cinnamon, maple syrup, and water and stir constantly to allow the apples to become coated and most of the liquid to absorb--I like a little bit of sauce so I don't let it all dissolve. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the oatmeal ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Add in about ⅔ of the apples and stir gently to combine.
- Divide into 3-4 individual bowls/jars or into one large container that can be sealed shut. Spoon remaining apples evenly over the top of the oatmeal jars.
- Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Enjoy warmed up or cold in the morning! You can add an extra splash of milk if desired if too much of the liquid has been absorbed.
Notes
Storage: Store these overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days. The apples will brown a bit over time, but should be okay. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Add more milk in the morning if these seem dry. Chia seeds tend to absorb quite a bit of liquid.
