Wake up to breakfast ready to go.
This recipe for apple and cinnamon overnight oats couldn't be easier to make. All it takes is a few minutes prep time in the evening and you have a healthy breakfast covered. Completely customisable, you can make it gluten free, dairy-free, refined-sugar free or vegan. Overnight, the oats and chia seeds soften and thicken into a filling breakfast pudding that will have you leaping out of bed to enjoy it.
Because overnight oats can last for days in the fridge it’s well worth making a double (or triple) batch and have breakfasts covered for the whole week. Any jar is good for the job but for ultimate freshness, pack the oats into the ‘Fresh’ 450ml glass vacuum containers. They’re super cute, airtight, stackable, transportable and won’t leak or break. Just grab a container on your way out the door, you’ll be the envy of the office when you open the lid and dig in!
Best of all, overnight oats are incredibly nutritious, their packed with super foods and made extra creamy and decadent if you use homemade yogurt. You can choose to add any yogurt you fancy. Find all of our homemade yogurt recipes here. You can also customise the base recipe with a few simple add-ins. For an old-fashioned apple-pie flavour, try adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, ground ginger and clove. For extra texture and chewiness add nuts or dried fruit.
