Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats Also known as old-fashioned oats.
  • ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice Adds warmth and flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances sweetness.
  • ¾ cup plain unsweetened soy milk Or any unsweetened non-dairy milk.
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup Natural sweetness.
  • ½ apple Diced for sweetness.
  • 2 dates Pitted and diced for sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed For serving.
  • 3 tbsp chopped walnuts Or pecans for serving.

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a clean jar, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything evenly. It’s important that the dry ingredients are well combined for consistent flavor.
  2. Pour in the plain unsweetened soy milk along with half of the dates and maple syrup. Stir gently to combine. You want to make sure that the oats are fully submerged in the milk to soak properly overnight.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the diced apple with the remaining dates, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup. This step is crucial as it ensures that the apples are coated with sweet spices, enhancing their flavor.
  4. Transfer this apple mixture on top of the oats in the jar. Make sure to spread it evenly so that every spoonful later will be packed with flavor.
  5. Cover your jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least six hours or, ideally, overnight. This soaking time allows the oats to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. When you’re ready to enjoy your Apple Pie Overnight Oats, take them out of the fridge. Stir in the ground flaxseed and chopped walnuts for added crunch and nutrition. If you prefer, you can also heat them in the microwave for about one minute to enjoy them warm.
  7. Serve and enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast! Feel free to top with extra maple syrup if you like it sweeter.

Notes

Once prepared, Apple Pie Overnight Oats keep covered in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days, although their texture may change slightly. You can freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months, but expect a change in apple texture. For juicy bites, chop the apple finely into 1/4-1/8 inch pieces. Cover before refrigerating to maintain moisture. If you enjoy them warm, microwave for at least one minute before eating, adding flaxseed and walls after.
