Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

By October 25, 2021November 3rd, 2021No Comments

A balanced breakfast for an on-the-go morning, or perfect for a snack, these apple cinnamon overnight oats are extremely tasty and easy for those with busy schedules. The base is packed with whole grains, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber, to keep you fueled and focused throughout the day.

If meal prepping, I recommend storing the apple cinnamon topping separate from your base in the refrigerator. To serve, enjoy the stovetop apple cinnamon topping either chilled or reheated over the base. I prefer having my overnight oats topped with a warm apple cinnamon topping, so I normally reheat the apple cinnamon topping or make it directly prior to serving.

If too short on time to make the stovetop topping, top your oats with sliced apples lightly sprinkled with cinnamon and crushed pecans, or use any fresh or dried fruit you have on hand. If dairy-free, substitute the milk and yogurt with your favorite dairy-free alternative.
