Ingredients
For oatmeal:
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For apples:
- 1 tsp butter
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ apple, diced
- 1 tbsp honey
- Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) for garnish and melted chocolate
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid and thicken the mixture.
- In a skillet, melt the teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apples and drizzle with honey. Continue to sauté until the apples are tender and coated in the honey-cinnamon mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mason jar or airtight container, start by placing a layer of the oats-chia mixture. Next, add a layer of the sautéed apples, spreading them evenly over the oats. Follow this with another layer of the oats-chia mixture. Finish by drizzling melted white chocolate over the oats and sprinkling chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) for garnish if desired.
- Refrigerate your Apple Pie Overnight Oats until you're ready to enjoy them.
