Yields: 2 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats, gluten free as needed
1 cup shredded apple (about 1 medium apple)
1 1/2 cups nut milk of choice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or apple pie spice)
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings:
Fresh slices of apple (sprinkled with cinnamon!)
Peanut butter or other nut butter
Banana slices
Nuts, seeds or granola
Cacao nibs
Directions:
In a mason jar or bowl, combine oats, shredded apple, nut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon, mixing well until all combined.
Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Sprinkle or drizzle on your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Overnight oats are meant to be eaten cold, but if you prefer them warm, you can microwave them for 30-60 seconds (depending on your microwave).
The great thing about overnight oats is that they can last for up to 4 to 5 days in your refrigerator which makes them perfect for meal prep.
I like to mix everything together and store in a mason jar, which has an airtight, sealed lid. It makes the perfect serving and you can even double or triple the recipe if planning to enjoy this for the week. If the oats seem super thick after a few days, you can just add in a splash of milk right before serving.
