This Apple Pie Overnight Oats recipe comes together in about 10 minutes and requires no cooking, perfect for a quick and easy breakfast that your family will love!
Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Apple Pie Overnight Oats
- 1 cup rolled oats: The base of our creamy oats! Rolled oats give a smooth texture and soak up the flavors overnight.
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk): You can use whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, whatever you have on hand will work great!
- 1 apple, diced: Any variety you prefer, Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness. The fresher, the better!
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup: A natural sweetener that adds delicious flavor. You can adjust to taste based on how sweet you like it.
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar: Enhances that sweet, caramel-like vibe, just like in grandma’s apple pie.
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon: Adds warm, comforting candy notes that make every bite feel like a hug.
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg: Just a hint gives a wonderful depth of flavor that’ll remind you of the holidays.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: For a lovely aromatic essence.
- Pinch of salt: Just a couple pinches to elevate all those flavors.
How to Make Creamy Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Alright, here we go, grab a medium-sized mixing bowl, and let’s get those oats ready! First, toss in the rolled oats, then pour in your milk of choice. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just make sure it’s something you enjoy drinking on its own!
Next up, you’ll add in the diced apple. Oh, I can already smell the fragrant sweetness wafting through your kitchen! Then, drizzle in the maple syrup and sprinkle the brown sugar on top, yes, I said sprinkle (because who wouldn’t want a little sprinkle of sweetness in their life?). Follow this up with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss in a couple pinches of salt to round it all out and stir until everything is well combined and coated in that creamy goodness.
Now, here comes my favorite part! Transfer that glorious mixture into a jar or container, make sure it’s airtight. Cover it up and stick it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
When morning hits, you’ll wake up to a delicious breakfast waiting for you. Just give it a little stir and voilà! Your Creamy Apple Pie Overnight Oats are ready to rock! Feel free to top them with a little extra apple, a drizzle more of maple syrup, or even some chopped nuts for crunch. It’s all about what you’re craving!
