Ingredients
Overnight Oats
- 2 Cups Rolled Oats
- 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
- 1/2 Cup Unflavored Collagen Peptides (optional)
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 Cups Milk of Choice
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 Pinch Sea Salt
Apple Topping
- 2 Apples, diced into small pieces
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Overnight Oats: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, collagen peptides (if using), cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Divide Oat Mixture: Evenly distribute the oat mixture into 4 separate containers or mason jars, ensuring each serving has an equal portion.
- Prepare Apples: Wash and dice the apples into small pieces. Place them in a small pot over medium-low heat on the stovetop.
- Add Maple Syrup and Cinnamon: Add the maple syrup and cinnamon to the pot with the apples. Stir well to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Cook Down Apples: Cover the pot and let the apples simmer for 10-12 minutes until they soften and the flavors meld, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Divide Apple Mixture: After the apples have cooked down, you may either top each jar of oats with a portion of the warm apple mixture or store the apples separately to add fresh before eating.
- Garnish, Serve, and Enjoy: When ready to eat, optionally drizzle additional peanut butter on the oats. Serve warm or chilled according to preference and enjoy the comforting apple pie flavors.
