Ingredients

For the Oats:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 small apple (diced, preferably a sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice mix
• Pinch of salt

For the Toppings:

• 1 small apple (sliced)
• 1/4 cup blueberries
• 2 tablespoons pecans (chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice

How To Make Apple Pie Overnight Oats

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, maple syrup, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir these until everything is well combined.
2. Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or individual mason jars, then cover and refrigerate overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors that you just mixed in. You can leave this in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.
3. Add Toppings: The next day, give the overnight oats a good stir. Then top your oats with sliced apple, blueberries, chopped pecans, and a sprinkle of apple pie spice for some extra apple pie flavor. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations

• Sweetness Adjustments: Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
• Make It Creamy: For a creamier texture, you can add and stir in a dollop of yogurt or a splash more milk before serving.
• Add More Flavor: Try mixing in other spices like nutmeg or ginger for a more complex flavor profile.

FAQs

Can I use steel-cut oats instead?
While steel-cut oats can work, they require longer soaking time. Consider preparing them the night before. I suggest soaking the steel-cut oats for a minimum of 8 hours before enjoying them.

How long will these last in the fridge?
These apple pie overnight oats can last up to 3 days in the fridge. Just make sure to keep them in an airtight container or in a tightly sealed mason jar. Because they last for three days, you can make these ahead of time for quick grab and go breakfast.

Can I customize the toppings?
Absolutely! Feel free to swap in your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds to make this overnight oats your own.
