Key Ingredients

Oats: Rolled oats, also known as old fashioned oats, are the best kind of oats to use for overnight oats, because they absorb the liquid the best. However, if you only have quick oats on hand, you can use them too!
Apple: It wouldn’t be apple pie oatmeal without an apple. I used a Honeycrisp apple, because I wanted my apple pie sweet. However, you can use your favorite kind of apple. I recommend Fuiji, Red Delicious, or Gala, for a sweeter oatmeal option and a green apple for a more tart flavor!
Spices: Cinnamon and nutmeg are a must for apple pie flavor!
Maple Syrup: To sweeten up your apple pie oats. I recommend real maple syrup.
Coconut Yogurt: A few tablespoons of coconut yogurt, makes this overnight oats recipe extra creamy.
Non-dairy Milk: Any non-dairy milk will work. I personally used unseewetend almond milk in this recipe.
Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are loaded with nutrients, rich in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional and can be replaced with additional chia seeds, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!
