Apple Pie Cinnamon Overnight Oats

These thick, creamy, and heart-healthy overnight oats are a great make-ahead breakfast option. With the warmth of cinnamon and sweet apples, they make a perfect start to your day. In addition, they’re made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

The apple pie cinnamon overnight oats combines 1 cup old-fashioned oats, 1 cup almond milk, a quarter cup each of apple sauce and diced apples, and one tsp. ground cinnamon. Before mixing, add a pinch of salt. It’s packed with protein and can be warmed up before eating so that it tastes like a slice of apple pie. It’s a healthy breakfast that tastes just like the apple pie your grandma used to make, and it’s a great way to take advantage of seasonal apples.

Banana Nut “Bread” Overnight Oats

This version of the recipe is also vegan, dairy free, and gluten-free. For this version, you will need one very ripe banana, one cup each of almond milk and old-fashioned oats, one teaspoon of maple syrup, one quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If you’re not vega, you could also top it with a tablespoon of melted butter.

Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats

This version of the recipe calls for one cup each of old-fashioned oats and unsweetened vanilla almond milk, one half to one cup of diced fresh strawberries (depending on how fruity you want it), a teaspoon of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.

For all of these versions of the recipe, you can store them in the refrigerator overnight and they should last two to three days in the fridge. You can eat the cold or hot depending on your preference as well.
