Not everyone has time to prepare a wholesome, from-scratch breakfast, but there are easy ways to get something worthwhile that adults and kids can enjoy on the fly. Apple cinnamon overnight oats take five minutes to prepare before you go to bed, and they’re ready when you wake up. And since there’s no sugar added, they’re better for you than that stale muffin you usually grab at the coffee shop.<\/p>\n
A mix of old-fashioned oats, fresh apples, raisins, milk and cinnamon, this quick and easy breakfast<\/a> is hearty, subtly sweet and nutritious (one serving contains 7 grams of fiber and 14 grams of protein). Bonus: If you’re looking for plant-based breakfast ideas, these overnight oats are vegetarian and can easily be made vegan.<\/p>\n Place the oats, apple pieces, raisins, milk, cinnamon, salt and, if using, nuts in a small container or Mason jar. Stir together to combine.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Mixing everything together like this will let the ingredients soften overnight. If you prefer crunchier apples and nuts, don’t mix those ingredients with the rest; instead, layer them on top inside the jar to keep them crisp and crunchy when you serve.<\/p>\n Seal the container and refrigerate overnight. Then, simply open and enjoy.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If you prefer chunkier, less-milky oats, simply drain the milk before serving. It’s all about how you like it!<\/p>\n Overnight oats are easy to make and easy to keep. Simply store them in the fridge for up to four days. The apple will start to brown after a few days, but that’s only from oxidation and won’t impact the flavor.<\/p>\n When sealed or covered properly, overnight oats should last up to four days in the refrigerator. This is among the easiest make-ahead breakfast recipes<\/a> because you can quickly make a bulk batch to keep you (and the fam) stocked up for the workweek.<\/p>\n It’s entirely up to you whether to peel the apples. Peeled apples will give a softer texture, while unpeeled apples offer a bit more crunch and bite (not to mention fiber, vitamins and antioxidants).<\/p>\n For this recipe, it’s important to stick with regular rolled old-fashioned oats. If you use instant oats, you’ll end up with unappealing mushy oats. If you use steel-cut oats, they won’t soften overnight and you’ll end up with an inedible, crunchy mess.<\/p>\n To make your bowl of overnight oats with apple and cinnamon extra thick, you can use yogurt in place of the milk in a 1:1 ratio or add yogurt to your finished oats to taste. Also, you can add anywhere from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon chia seeds<\/a> or flaxseeds<\/a> to the oat mixture before you let it rest overnight. The seeds will add a thickening quality while also adding protein, essential fatty acids and fiber.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple cinnamon overnight oats is one of the easiest and quickest breakfasts you can prepare.
