What are overnight oats?
Overnight oats are basically just oatmeal soaked overnight in the fridge making an easy breakfast! Some people like to warm it up, but I honestly prefer it cold especially with the yogurt. You can prep multiple ahead of time so you have an easy breakfast ready to go for you all week!
What you need to make them + substitutions:
- Rolled oats- I love using rolled oats for overnight oats! They soak up the yogurt so well and add a bit more texture than quick oats would give! However, you can use either.
- Greek yogurt- I used the plain Fage 5% yogurt! I also love their 2%, Siggi’s vanilla or even dairy free would work here. Just use whatever you buy and you love!
- Applesauce- I use applesauce here to add a little more apple flavor. If you don’t have any you can just replace with an additional 1/4 of yogurt.
- Almond milk- Feel free to substitute with another milk like cashew, soy, oat, whole milk or whatever you prefer! You can also easily use water here if needed since you get the creamy goodness from the yogurt.
- Maple syrup- You could also substitute with honey or brown sugar.
- Chia seeds- I love the texture and thickness that the chia seeds add. You can also substitute with ground flax seeds as well! The chia seeds add some wonderful nutrients as well!
- Apple pie spice- If you don’t have apple pie spice, then you can always make your own. Or you can substitute with 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Gives a nice spice to these apple pie overnight oats
- Sea salt- I don’t make anything without salt. It’s what helps bring the flavor out in a recipe.
