Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Equipment
- 1 ball jar
- 1 bowl
- 1 knife
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 dash cinnamon ground
- 1/2 medium apples with peel, cored and chopped
- 1 Tbs. craisins
- 1/2 Tbs. chia seeds
- 1/2 Tbs flax seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Optional Ingredients:
- Toasted nuts of your choice.
- Fresh pomegranate seeds.
- Toasted coconut flakes.
Instructions
- Clean and have ready a Ball jar (pint sized), or a large glass (16 oz or more).
- Wash, core and dice 1/2 of a medium apple (do not remove peel). Gala, Honey-crisp or other local apple varieties work well. Set aside.
- Toast nuts in a dry pan, checking often, until fragrant and slightly brown. Chop and set aside.
- Prepare, measure and set aside the other ingredients, including any desired optional ingredients.
- Assemble in the Ball jar, or glass, by creating 2 identical groups of layers. Milk will be added at the very end. So start with half of everything. Oats first, salt and cinnamon next. Then add dried fruit, apples and nuts. If using any optional ingredients, add where you think best. Then repeat the group of layers once more, starting with the oats and ending with the nuts. Finish by slowly adding all the milk so that it seeps down to moisten every layer.
- Cover and chill overnight. Eat cold in the morning, straight out of the jar. Or if you prefer a warm breakfast, heat slightly in a pan or microwave. Enjoy!
