Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Apple Pie Overnight Oats layer creamy oat and chia seed mixture with spiced apple chunks and candied pecans. The oats soak overnight for a soft, creamy texture, while crisp apples and sweet, lightly toasted pecans provide crunch and warmth akin to apple pie flavors. This preparation offers a convenient, make-ahead breakfast featuring natural sweetness and balanced spices.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond milk light coconut, soy or oat, nondairy milk such as
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- vanilla extract drop
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar or sweetener of choice
Apple Cinnamon Topping:
- 1 apple chopped small, peeled
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp maple syrup
Candied pecans:
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Warm the Non-Dairy Milk in a bowl. Add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and mix well. Let this mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes so it thickens a little bit.
- Chop the apple, add to another bowl, mix the cinnamon and maple syrup, toss and combine well.
- To candy pecans, add the pecans to a skillet over medium heat, and cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly roast. Then add the maple syrup, sugar, and a pinch of salt, and mix well. Cook until the sugary mixture starts to thicken, and coats all the pecans. Remove from the heat.
- Assemble the overnight oats in three jars.
- Add a layer of the oat chia mixture, then add some apples, pecans, then some more oat mixture, and then some more apples and pecans. You can also add other fruits such as berries, blueberries, etc on top.These overnight oats will keep in the fridge for upto 3 days
Notes
- Cook the apple topping over medium heat until tender if a softer texture is preferred.
- The overnight oats keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days, allowing for convenient meal prep.
- To make nut-free, omit the pecans entirely without affecting the core oat and apple layers.
