  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ground cardamom
  • ⅛ tsp ground ginger

BAKED APPLES AND CANDIED WALNUTS:

  • 1 ½ Cripps Pink apple (Pink Lady), chopped into bite size pieces
  • 3 Tbsp walnuts, chopped into tiny pieces
  • 2 tsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, optional

TO SERVE:

Instructions
 

  • OATS:
  • Combine milk, almond butter, coconut nectar or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger in a medium bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Add the oats, grated apple, raisins and chia seeds. Mix until combined. Let it sit in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours.
  • BAKED APPLES AND CANDIED WALNUTS:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F or 175 C.
  • Add apples, walnuts, coconut nectar (or maple syrup), oil and cinnamon (if using) to a baking dish. Mix, until the apples and walnuts are well coated in the oil and coconut nectar.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and give them a quick stir. Bake for 5 – 10 more minutes. Until the apples are tender and the walnuts are toasted.
  • Let cool at room temperature.
  • TO SERVE:
  • You can do this the night before, so when you wake up the next morning your breakfast is good to go. Or you can throw everything together that same morning.
  • Divide the oats-chia seeds combo into 2 glass jars.
  • Add a few tablespoons of coconut yogurt to each jar.
  • Top with baked apples and walnuts. You can also add more almond butter and an extra drizzle of maple syrup, if you want.
  • Enjoy right away or close the jar and store in the fridge. It will keep for 4 - 5 days.

Notes

* I like using coconut milk because it’s naturally sweet and pairs incredibly well with apples, but you can use your favorite plant-based milk.
