Overnight oats are a simple yet ingenious way to prepare oatmeal. The process involves soaking rolled oats in a liquid, typically milk or a dairy-free alternative, for several hours, allowing them to absorb the liquid and soften. This method not only saves time but also ensures that your breakfast is ready to go in the morning. The result is a creamy, cold oatmeal that can be enjoyed straight from the fridge or warmed up.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 medium apple, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for extra nutrition)

Greek yogurt (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine the ingredients.

    If you're using chia seeds, add them to the mixture now, as they will help thicken the oats overnight.

      Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids. Make sure each jar has the apple pieces evenly distributed.

        Tightly seal the jars and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak overnight (for at least 6 hours) so they absorb the liquid and flavors.

          In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Top with chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch and a dollop of Greek yogurt, if desired.

              Enjoy your delicious Apple Pie Overnight Oats cold or warm them up in the microwave for a minute before serving!
