- Rolled oats - I recommend using rolled oats, not quick oats or steel cut oats. If you are gluten-free be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Apple - use any sweet red apple that you like to make this apple oatmeal. I love using gala, honey crisp, or pink lady apples.
- Cashew butter - this is used to make the caramel sauce. If you don't have cashew butter you can swap it for another nut butter but it will change the flavour of the recipe. Be sure to use smooth, unsweetened cashew butter or nut butter.
- Maple syrup - to add some natural sweetness while keeping it refined sugar free.
- Flax seeds - use ground flax seeds (flaxseed meal) rather than whole flax seeds.
- Apple pie spice - if you don't have apple pie spice, use ground cinnamon instead.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- You can use any type of milk that you like to make these apple pie oats including dairy milk, oat milk, cashew milk, almond milk, soy milk etc.
- If you want a thicker texture: replace half the milk with yogurt.
- To make higher protein: add a couple scoops of collagen peptides or hemp seeds. You could also add a scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder. Just note that collagen peptides are not vegan.
How to make apple pie overnight oats:
- Step 1: In a large bowl, add all the oatmeal ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Step 2: In a separate small bowl, stir together the caramel ingredients until they are smooth.
- Step 3: Next, pour the caramel over the oatmeal mixture and stir it into the oats.
- Step 4: Place the oatmeal in the fridge for 4 hours, or overnight, and then serve and enjoy.
Top Tips:
- Instead of a bowl you can store these overnight oats in mason jars to make them an even easier grab-and-go breakfast.
- Storage: store any leftover overnight oats in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The longer you store them, the thicker they will get so feel free to add more milk or water when you serve them to thin them out again.
Apple pie overnight oats FAQs:
