Creamy, healthy overnight oats mixed in with homemade apple butter. These oats taste like Apple Pie in a jar, and are perfect to grab and go for breakfast!
These Apple Butter Overnight Oats taste like a healthier version of Apple Pie, which I’ll just never complain about. Most days, I now work from home, so my meal-prepping game isn’t as strong as it used to be for breakfast. But these are the perfect, quick bite to jumpstart my day or snack at 3pm when I need a little something.
I make these overnight oats using my homemade apple butter but you can use store bought if you need to. These are so creamy and taste like apple pie in a jar! If you love this recipe, make a batch of maple chai overnight oats next!
Ingredients for these oats
The ingredients below are a great base recipe for any overnight oats recipe you try. You can easily swap out the apple pie flavor for other mix-ins like pumpkin butter, fig butter, jams, etc; feel free to get creative!
- rolled oats: naturally gluten-free. the base of this recipe.
- milk: liquid to “cook” the oats.
- Greek yogurt: Adds a creamy texture and extra protein.
- apple butter: gives that apple pie flavor.
- apple pie spice: for flavor.
- toppings: chopped apple, pecans, chia seeds, honey (optional)
what is the best type of milk to use
You can use any liquid for overnight oats. You can honestly even use plain water. I like using milk so that the texture is creamy and I can add a little extra nutrition boost.
- almond milk
- cashew milk
- coconut milk
- cow’s milk
- water (last resort)
Can I heat up my overnight oats?
These oats are ready to eat straight from the fridge and don’t require any cook time. That being said, if you don’t like the taste or texture when they’re Cole, you can easily pop into the microwave for about 90 seconds to warm them through.
how long will these last in the fridge?
These apple pie overnight oats can last in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container. However, they will continue to soften the longer they sit, so they are best eaten on the first couple of days.
Wait to add in any extra toppings like chopped apples, pecans or honey until ready to eat.
