Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Apple Pie Overnight Oats are hearty, satisfying and oh so filling.  Sweet, creamy and full of protein and fiber, this breakfast will keep you full until lunch! Easy to make in five minutes.  {gluten free, vegan}

Have you gotten on board the overnight oats train yet? It might be time you did.  I find the best time of day for me to eat healthy is first thing in the morning.  In fact, I'm best at doing just about everything in the morning.  By dinner time, I am dragging.  So when I wake up I set out to have a healthy and productive day.

What better way to start a healthy and productive day than with some Apple Pie Overnight Oats? When I call them "Apple Pie," you think you are getting away with something, right?

Not so! These are full of so much goodness and you won't even know.

Let's take those gluten free oats.  Oats are full of fiber and antioxidants and can even lower your cholesterol when eaten regularly.  They are high in resistant starch which is known to increase satiety and decrease insulin levels.

Chia seeds contain fiber, protein, Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. They have a very mild flavor and you won't even know they are there!

These Apple Pie Overnight Oats are so simple to make.  Just add equal parts gluten free oats to liquid.  You can use coconut, almond or regular milk.  Some folks like to add in yogurt too.  It's the perfect blank slate for you to experiment with different flavors.

Sometimes I set up an assembly line and make a few days worth of overnight oats on Sunday.  Those are the weeks when I feel healthy and just plain on it!  Try it.  There's power in a healthy breakfast!
