I seriously love waking up to a creamy, flavorful bowl of overnight oats that is both nutritious and delicious. This apple cinnamon overnight oats variation is one of my favorite flavors to date!

With a quick 5-minute prep the night before, you’ll mix oats, juicy shredded apples, and a dash of cinnamon—then let your fridge handle the rest.

What’s in this apple cinnamon overnight oats recipe?

  • Rolled Oats: The base of your creamy breakfast.
  • Fresh Apple Chunks: For that crisp, fruity bite.
  • Cinnamon: A dash for warmth and flavor.
  • Chia Seeds: For a fiber and omega-3 boost.
  • Almond Milk: Or any milk of your choice.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Your natural sweetener.
  • Vanilla Extract: A splash for added aroma.

Variations and Substitutions

  • Apple Sauce: use apple sauce instead of shredded apple.
  • Spices: Nutmeg or allspice can join the cinnamon.
  • Milk: Dairy, oat, or soy milk can be used.
  • Sweeteners: agave, honey, and maple syrup work!

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 protein powder recommendations HERE.
