These healthy overnight oats are the perfect on-the-go breakfast for busy mornings when you need something quick and filling. The flavors of apple pie make it feel like a true indulgence — what could be better?
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cups quick oats or rolled oats, divided into 4 servings
- 4 Tbsp of chia seeds
- 2 2/3 cup milk of choice (I use unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 cup yogurt of choice (I use plain 4% Greek yogurt)
- 2 medium apples, diced into cubes
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp butter
- Optional topping: 1 cup, divided, granola of choice (I topped with my Maple Pecan Granola)
Instructions
- Gather 4 small to medium mason jars or other container of similar size. Mason jars work well because they are tall and narrow. Wider containers don’t allow oats to mix as well. Add 1/3 cup oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 2/3 cup milk and 1/4 cup yogurt to each jar. Mix with a whisk or cover and give a strong shake.
- Toss diced apples with cinnamon and sugar. Heat butter in a medium pan. When melted, add apples and saute ntil soft, about 5 minutes. Stir consistently so the apples don’t stick to the bottom of the pan and they cook evenly.
- Add apples to each jar. Top with granola if using and store in refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight. You can also wait to put the granola in until you are ready to serve if you want it to stay crunchy.
