Overnight oats are good and healthy as they are. But it can be made even more exciting with lots of options for additional base ingredients and toppings.
Apples feature prominently as toppings for this overnight oats recipe. In this recipe, we have chosen to put everything together in a mason jar and refrigerated it overnight, then added the chopped apples the next day, right before eating it, so it stays fresh. Alternatively, the apple toppings may already be refrigerated in the jar with the rest of the ingredients.
For our dairy milk substitute, we have chosen to use almond milk, although cashew, soy, and other plant-based milks are just as fine. You may sweeten your overnight oats with Stevia or maple syrup, or you may use both. Additionally, we have added some chia seeds and some cinnamon powder as a garnish.
