Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Apple season is here and, as much as we love apple pie, it is more of a “special occasion” dessert. These overnight oats are easy to whip up to satisfy cravings for those warm apple-pie spices, and healthy enough to eat on the daily! Traditional apple-pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla combine with chewy, nutty steel-cut oats and chia seeds for a delicious—and healthy—start to the day.

2
3⁄4 cup organic milk of choice (whole, 2%, or substitute plant milk for a vegan and dairy-free option)
2 tablespoons Natural Grocers® Brand Bulk Organic Peanut Butter
1 tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Chia Seeds
1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Cinnamon
1⁄8 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Ground Nutmeg
1-2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup
1⁄2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 small organic apple of your choice (go tart with Granny Smith or sweet with Honey Crisp)
1⁄2 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Steel Cut Oats
Optional toppings
Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Nuts
Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Cocoa Powder
Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Cinnamon
Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Fine Shredded Coconut
Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Hemp Seeds
organic yogurt
organic berries
sliced or chopped organic apples
organic banana
additional maple syrup

1. Whisk together the milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, spices, maple syrup, and vanilla in a medium bowl.

2. Use a hand grater to shred the apple, and then squeeze to remove excess liquid. Stir the apple into the milk mixture.

3. Stir in the oats and cover the bowl. Place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least eight hours.

4. Serve with optional toppings.

 

Notes:

1. This recipe can be doubled. For best results, refrigerate in one bowl to allow for liquid absorption, then separate into smaller containers to store. Best eaten within 3-4 days.

2. This can be warmed to serve if desired. Heat in a small saucepan over low heat, adding extra liquid if needed.
