Looking for a quick and nutritious breakfast? These Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats are your answer. They’re perfect for those busy mornings when you want something wholesome without the hassle.
Rolled oats form the hearty base of this dish, providing fiber and a satisfying texture. Unsweetened almond milk keeps the oats creamy and adds a subtle nuttiness without the dairy. A medium apple is your go-to for natural sweetness and a bit of crunch. Ground cinnamon brings warmth and depth, pairing beautifully with the apple. Honey adds just the right touch of sweetness — feel free to adjust to your liking. Chopped walnuts give a delicious crunch and a boost of healthy fats. A dash of vanilla extract enhances all the flavors, while a pinch of salt balances everything out.
These oats are wonderful on their own but also pair well with a dollop of almond butter or a sprinkle of chia seeds. If you're feeling indulgent, a few dark chocolate chips can turn this breakfast into a treat.
First, grab a medium-sized bowl and toss in the rolled oats. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and give it a quick stir. Next, dice your medium apple — no need to be too precise; a rough chop is fine. Add the diced apple to the bowl with the oats.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and drizzle the honey over the mixture. Add a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the oats are fully submerged in the almond milk.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or, if you prefer, transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Pop it in the fridge and let it sit overnight, or at least for 6 hours. In the morning, give your oats a good stir to redistribute the flavors. Top with chopped walnuts just before serving for that perfect crunch.
