APPLE PIE OVERNIGHT OATS INGREDIENTS
Rolled oats aka old fashioned oats.
Plain greek yogurt. Flavored greek yogurts can add a lot of added sugars in your diet. I like to start with plain greek yogurt, which is an excellent source of protein, and add any sweeteners if I want them.
Soy milk, or you can use the type of milk that you like. I don't drink dairy milk, so I like that soy milk gives me a good amount of protein like dairy milk would.
Chia seeds are incredible nutritious! You can also substitute in flax seeds here. 🙂
Ground cinnamon to give it more of an apple pie taste. Cinnamon is actually an anti-inflammatory spice too!
Vanilla extract adds that amazing scent that you associate with baked goods. Make sure to pick out pure vanilla extract.
Maple syrup for a little bit of sweetness. If you ended up using vanilla yogurt in your apple pie oats, and don't want them to be too sweet, just skip the maple syrup.
Apples picked fresh! I love how good apples are during apple season in New York. You can use any type of apples that you like in this recipe.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST APPLE PIE OVERNIGHT OATMEAL
MAKE MULTIPLE JARS AHEAD OF TIME. Overnight oats are a great quick healthy breakfast. I make 4-5 jars at a time so I can have breakfast ready to go all week.

USE FRESH QUALITY CINNAMON. Good cinnamon adds so much flavor to apple pie oats!
MAKE IN SEASON. In season apples are the best!
HOW TO MAKE APPLE PIE OVERNIGHT OATMEAL
Line 4 mason jars up on your counter. If you don't have mason jars, you can use any glass container that has a lid.
In each jar add: ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup plain greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Chop all 4 apples into small pieces. Leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients!
In a microwave safe bowl, add your chopped apple pieces and 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Toss to coat the apples in the cinnamon.
Cook the apples in your microwave for 1 minute incriminates until they are as soft as you like. Then, divide them evenly between your 4 mason jars.
Stir your overnight oat mixture well to combine. Or, cover with a lid and shake to combine!
Store your oats in the fridge overnight for a quick and easy breakfast!
HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT YOUR APPLE PIE OVERNIGHT OATS
Store your overnight oats in the fridge for up to 4 days. In the morning, they are great cold or warm!
NOTE on warming in the microwave: since the microwave takes away some of the water when heating, you may need to add more milk if you don't want it too thick!
