Easy Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe layers rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt in a jar, mixed with unsweetened vanilla-flavored plant milk and maple syrup before stirring in chopped apples that have been drizzled with lemon juice to maintain freshness. Refrigerated for a minimum of two hours or up to several days, the oats absorb liquid and spices, creating a naturally sweet, autumn-inspired meal that can be enjoyed cold without cooking.
The oats offer a chewy and slightly creamy texture, balanced by the juicy, crisp apple bits. The lemon juice brightens the flavor while the warming cinnamon and ginger mimic the spices used in apple pie. This make-ahead dish is convenient for busy mornings and easily adjustable for sweetness and creaminess preferences.
If the oats get too thick after storage, adding more milk allows adjustment to the desired consistency. Adding vegan yogurt is another way to enhance creaminess and flavor.
Ingredients
- ⅓ to ½ cup rolled oats Certified gluten-free if needed.
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- small pinch of sea salt optional
- approx. ½ cup plant milk unsweetened, vanilla, non-dairy
- up to 1 tablespoon maple syrup Or sweetener of choice, to taste.
- 1 small apple cored and chopped into small bite-size pieces
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice optional
Instructions
- In a pint jar or small storage container combine the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, and pinch of salt, if using. Add the milk and maple syrup, and stir to combine.
- Drizzle lemon juice onto chopped apple. Add apple to the jar, and stir again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 or 3 days before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the milk amount after chilling for desired creaminess as oats may thicken over time.
- Adding a dollop of vegan yogurt can enhance flavor and texture.
