\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nOatmeal is just about my favorite breakfast. I love to mix and match all varieties. Besides Instant Pot Oatmeal<\/a>, I adore Blueberry Baked Oatmeal<\/a> and Apple Oatmeal Bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n My family begins almost every weekday morning with a variety of oatmeal to give us a healthy, filling start to our days. Even on the weekends, we find ourselves eating oatmeal with my Cinnamon Oatmeal Blender Waffles<\/a>.<\/p>\n And now, you can take your favorite apple pie flavors and turn them into oatmeal with less than 5 minutes of meal prep. Apple pie isn\u2019t just for fall \u2013 go ahead and add apple pie overnight oats to your menu plan for breakfast this week!<\/p>\n I am new to this overnight oats trend that has been taking off lately. I\u2019m not sure what took me so long to join the bandwagon \u2013 overnight oats are amazing!<\/p>\n To make apple pie oats overnight, you just need a few simple ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n You can use almost any type of oats for overnight oats. The less processed the oats, the more nutrients they contain.<\/p>\n When choosing oats for overnight oats, I typically pick old-fashioned oats or rolled oats,<\/strong> although quick-cooking oats can work too if that\u2019s what you have on hand. Steel-cut oats may not soften enough without cooking, and instant oatmeal will turn into mush.<\/p>\n This easy overnight oats recipe is like my Slab Apple Pie<\/a> in breakfast form \u2013 with a healthy spin on it!<\/p>\n So how do you make overnight oats? Follow these instructions.<\/p>\n Step 1. Mix<\/strong> the milk, spices, sweetener, applesauce<\/a>, and chia seeds<\/a> in mason jars<\/a> with a good shake or stir. (You can use a mixing bowl<\/a> or glass measuring cup<\/a> if you prefer.)<\/p>\n Step 2. Then add your oats<\/a> and chopped apples <\/strong>and shake again.<\/p>\n Step 3. Refrigerate overnight.<\/strong><\/p>\n Step 4. Serve in the morning<\/strong> cold or warmed up.<\/p>\n Overnight oats are good for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, so go ahead and prep breakfast for the week on Sunday night!<\/p>\n The main recipe I\u2019m sharing today is for Apple Pie Oatmeal. But it\u2019s easily customizable \u2013 make your own flavor varieties using oats and milk as the base!<\/p>\n Use different spices, add cocoa powder<\/a>, or use a little vanilla extract<\/a>. A peanut butter<\/a> (or nut butter<\/a> or almond butter<\/a>) and chocolate chip<\/a> oatmeal would be amazing!<\/p>\n Top with a sprinkle of brown sugar<\/a> or unsweetened shredded coconut.<\/p>\n Make overnight oats with yogurt<\/a> instead of applesauce or even use up the last bit of your favorite seasonally flavored coffee creamer<\/a> in place of part of the milk.<\/p>\n If you need a little more direction, here are some great overnight oats flavor combinations. Follow the same measurements in my recipe below, swapping out for these flavors instead:<\/p>\n Oatmeal is one of the best grains you can eat. There are many benefits to oatmeal including fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals<\/a>. <\/p>\n When you make overnight oats, you\u2019ll use oats and milk as the base (both of which also contain protein), but your options are endless from there! To make protein overnight oats, try adding any of these:<\/p>\n Either! One of the perks of making overnight oats is that you can eat them right out of the fridge! But if you\u2019d like to warm them up, feel free. A microwave will be your fastest option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The oats absorb the liquid that you use. Technically speaking, it\u2019s already soggy! That\u2019s what makes the oats soft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWHY MAKE APPLE PIE OVERNIGHT OATS<\/h2>\n
