Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

This recipe is for apple cinnamon overnight oats that are perfect for breakfast. The main ingredients in these overnight oats are oats, chia seeds, milk and chopped apples and they taste so good together. Though overnight oats are usually eaten for breakfast, they are perfect for any time of the day. You can enjoy them for lunch or an evening snack.

These overnight oats are quick and easy to prepare and just requires you to add all the ingredients to the same jar or bowl then place in the fridge. The oats and chia seeds will absorb some of the milk to create a pudding like texture that is so yummy. I usually prepare them before bed and they’re ready for breakfast in the morning. I don’t eat breakfast everyday so sometimes I enjoy them for brunch instead.

These overnight oats are not only delicious but also very filling and will keep you full for hours. They are high in protein with 12g per serving and also high in fibre with 10g per serving.

This recipe is perfect for those that have hectic mornings and want a healthy breakfast that is instant and can also be eaten on the go.
