Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe for Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats mixes old-fashioned oats with shredded apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, and plant-based milk. The ingredients are combined in a container and refrigerated overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the flavors and soften without cooking. The inclusion of cinnamon provides a warm spice note complemented by the natural sweetness of the apple and sugar.
The texture is creamy and tender, with the softened oats and softened apple blending throughout. Chopped walnuts or pecans offer a contrast in texture and a nutty flavor when included. Serving the oats chilled means the dish is refreshing and convenient for busy mornings.
Assembly in a wide-mouth jar facilitates both mixing and eating, and the consistency can be adjusted by adding more liquid if too thick or more oats or chia seeds if too thin. Combining shredded and diced apple allows a choice between a consistently blended flavor and added texture.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 small apple your choice on the variety, shredded
- 2 tablespoons walnuts optional, chopped, or pecans
- 1 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- In a container, glass, or mason jar, add oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, walnuts, apples, and plant-based milk.
- Cover with a lid or aluminum foil. If you’re using a mason jar, shake it up until mixed. If you’re using another dish, stir with a spoon until mixed.
- Refrigerate overnight (or for 4+ hours).
- When you wake up, mix and enjoy chilled! No cooking or heating is necessary—the oats soften overnight.
Notes
- Use a wide-mouth jar or cup to simplify mixing and eating directly from it.
- Adjust thickness by adding more milk if too thick, or more oats or chia seeds to thicken if too thin.
- For balanced texture, combine shredded and diced apples; shredded for flavor, diced for bite.
