Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Perfectly sweet, lightly spiced, crazy delicious apple pie. But make it healthier.

I’m not a big fan of oatmeal, but I do love overnight oats. And this Apple Pie version is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
To make this healthy breakfast taste amazing, I made a rich, creamy oats-chia seeds combo that I sweetened with golden raisins and grated apple. I then topped the oats with a little coconut yogurt, tender, baked apples and caramelized walnuts. No wonder I’m obsessed with this easy and super delicious breakfast. One big spoonful of all those yummy layers and I’m in love.

Baked apples and candied walnuts will remind you of a warm, scrumptious apple pie. Feels like you are eating dessert for breakfast. And yet this filling meal is chock-full of goodness. Oats, chia seeds, almond butter, apples, cinnamon, walnuts. Can you name a healthier combo?! Okay, okay, I know it’s not a kale salad, but this vegan breakfast is loaded with health benefits. It’s high in fiber, protein-rich and packed with healthy fats.

Also, overnight Oats are perfect for busy mornings. You can prep them the night before and simply grab a jar in the morning on your way out. Satisfying, delicious and full of the good stuff.
