Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- small pot
- 2 Glass jars or food containers
Ingredients
Apple Pie Topping
- 1 large honeycrisp apple diced small
- 1 Tbsp salted butter
- 1 ½ Tbsp brown sugar packed
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Overnight Oats
- 1 cup large flake oats
- 2 scoop vanilla protein powder I use Leanfit vanilla whey
- 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- pinch salt
- dash cinnamon
- ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk
To Serve (Optional)
- 2 Tbsp crushed pecans
Instructions
- Make apple pie topping: To your pot, add all ingredients for the apple pie topping, and stir. Turn the heat to medium. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until apples are softened and lightly browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare oats: Divide the ingredients for the overnight oats between two food containers or glass jars. (Each container will get: ½ cup oats, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed, pinch of salt, dash of cinnamon, ½ cup milk, ⅓ cup greek yogurt.) Stir until the mixture is clump-free.
- Top with apples: Make sure your apple pie topping has cooled to room temperature. Top each container/jar with half the apple pie topping.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate overnight. When you’re ready to eat, add crushed pecans (about 1 Tbsp per jar), and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe makes two jars of overnight oats.
- I like honeycrisp apples because they’re super sweet, but you can swap for any variety you like.
- I recommend leaving the skin on your apple for extra fiber.
