Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Crisp apples sautéd in butter with ground cinnamon, and pure maple syrup - these apple cinnamon overnight oats are the perfect cozy, fall breakfast.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 cup kefir
- ½ scoop protein powder or collagen proteins
Instructions
- Mix together all ingredients. Add oats, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon and protein powder (if using) to a glass jar or container with a lid. Next add in nut butter and milk. Stir until fully combined, cover on and place in the fridge overnight (or for at least 3 hours).
- Make the cinnamon apples. About 5 minutes before you are going to eat the oats make the cinnamon apples. Melt the butter in a skillet at a medium, low heat. Add in apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Slowly saute the apples for about 3-5 minutes or until tender.
- Enjoy the apple cinnamon overnight oats! Once the oats have been in the fridge for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight), remove and pour the cinnamon apples over the oats.
Notes
- For the creamiest, thickest apple cinnamon overnight oats, allow them to sit in the fridge overnight. If you don’t have the time you can eat them after 3 hours of refrigerating.
- For best results, use collagen or animal based protein powder. If using a vegan protein, make sure to add more liquid because the vegan protein soaks up more liquid.
- If you use milk instead of kefir you may need to reduce the amount of liquid you use because kefir is much thicker.
- Cook the apples slowly over a low heat. You don't want to burn them
