These Vegan Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats will have you eating dessert for breakfast while getting a serving of whole grains and tons of protein at the same time.
Prepare this overnight oats recipe the night before and you have an easy breakfast waiting for you in the morning!
Calling all overnight oats lovers! You’re in the right place 😀 From peanut butter overnight oats to lemon cheesecake overnight oats to chocolate chai overnight oats, the love for all things overnight oats is the real deal here at Fit Foodie Finds.
Apple Season = Best Season
Minnesota is an apple state, so I’ve started seeing signs for apple orchards pop up everywhere. Tis the season! I feel like the only things we grow in Minnesota are corn, soy, root vegetables, and APPLES.
Obviously, we had to come up with an overnight oats recipe to satisfy our fall-is-coming apple cravings! This vegan overnight oats recipe calls for shredded apples. We’ve made a similar recipe before with chunks of apples and shredded is so much better!
Overnight Oats Ingredients
You get a little bit of apple in every single bite and it’s just perfect. Here’s what else you need:
- Rolled oats
- Orange juice
- Maple syrup
- Almond milk
- Vanilla extract
- Ground flax seed
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
Make This Recipe Your Own!
If you’ve got a favorite apple variation…use that! Options are endless. My personal favorite is the honey crisp apple because it’s that perfect combo of sweet and tart.
As you can see, this recipe is very similar to our basic vegan overnight oats recipe, but we used ground flax instead of chia seeds.
amp up the protein!
If you’d like a little bit more protein in your oats, you can always add some Greek yogurt (which would not be vegan, but still delish!) or even a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Check out our vegan protein powder recommendations HERE.
Overnight Oats Tips
Here are some tips and tricks that we always keep in our back pocket to help make the best tasting overnight oats ever:
- Feel free to double or triple any overnight oats recipe on FFF.
- Option to swap out any milk or liquid you prefer.
- Quick cooking oats work just as well as rolled oats. However, I prefer the texture of rolled oats.
- Add more protein to your overnight oats with a scoop of protein powder.
How Long Do Overnight Oats Last?
- As long as there is no fresh fruit in the recipe, overnight oats will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days.
- Separate your overnight oats into single-serve jars or meal-prep containers for a grab-and-go option all week long!

Love these recipes! 😊 Thankyou . I heat mine up ,to me it is yummier that way.
My littles enjoyed eating this recipe but there was way too much cinnamon for me. I’ll try it again with less cinnamon.
Lovely, filling, on the go breakfast, perfect for our trip!
Was an absolute delight to eat, loved it.Would make again.
Can I hear this up in the mornings? Or should it be eaten as is?
Hey, I don’t have any orange juice in the house. Could I leave it out?
Yes! You can sub with any other liquid!
I love this recipe, I am a lover of CINNAMON , Easy to do, easy to eat 😉
Switzerland is an apple country as well. I need to try this as I somehow run out of ideas all the time.
QUESTION: can you use steel cut oats for these recipes?
Yum, this recipe definitely counts as ‘breakfast goals’.
So goooooood!
E || OH LA LATKES
Love adding protein powder to overnight oats!
Oh my gosh, the engagement made me so happy! Congrats, Lee! These overnight oats look wonderful. The fact that the bowls look substantial is even more fantastic–I have to give these a go one day!
The calorie count on this is off again….a cup of oats has 300 calories, so if the recipe makes 2 servings, there’s no way each serving is only 131 calories. If you’re going to include nutrition info, please check to make sure it’s right. Otherwise it’s useless and not worth your time. Thank you!
Thanks Alex. All fixed!
Congratulations on your engagement!!!! Love overnight oats and can’t wait to try these.
Thank you!!
Does the recipe use 1/2 c or 1 c oats? I think you forgot to include the oats in the recipe, but it looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it.
So sorry I must have deleted it! 1 cup!
I think the quantity of oats is missing from the recipe! 🙂
P.S. they look friggin delicious
Thanks for catching that I think I accidentally deleted it! 1 cup rolled oats <3
So hungry when reading your post! why so delicious? :'(
Just want to say that I love your blog! I found it a couple weeks ago and we’ve already tried several recipes. So I have this prepped for tomorrow but was wondering if the oatmeal can be heated up–or is that weird with the yogurt? Just wanted to check because my husband is picky about food temps and textures.
Thanks!
Hm good question! I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why not! I’ve used Greek yogurt in baked goods, so I think it’ll be fine! Glad you like FFF 🙂
My husband loves oatmeal for breakfast. But he never tried it as apple pie 🙂 I think it’s the very time.
I”ll make this healthy breakfast for him and myself.
Thank you for the recipe!
Apple pie for breakfast is the best ever!!
