    Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds 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, dairy 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.  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 Cinnamon Overnight Oats?

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

    Ingredients

    • gluten free oats - I like Bob's Red Mill certified gluten free oats
    • chia seeds - So much nutrition!
    • almond milk - I use Califia unsweetened almond milk
    • maple syrup - I always use pure maple syrup.  You can also use honey or leave it out completely.
    • cinnamon - Did you know cinnamon can help lower blood sugar?

    Health Benefits

    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.

    Add-Ins For Overnight Oats

    • flaxseeds
    • chia seeds
    • fresh fruit
    • dried fruit
    • nuts
    • almond, peanut or cashew butter
    • PB8 powder
    • cocoa powder
    • cocoa nibs
    • chocolate chips
    • honey
    • maple syrup
    • agave nectar
    • molasses
    • brown sugar
    • vanilla or almond flavoring

    See? The possibilities are endless.

    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!

      I have definitely gotten on board the overnight oat train! So I am totally loving these! I could eat everything apple pie flavored come fall, so I will definitely be adding these to the list! Such a delicious breakfast or a healthy, but hearty snack! Cheers, friend!

      Oh these sound positively perfect, Karen! And I need to pay attention to my breakfasts now that we're into an even busier time of year. I tend to nod off at my desk around 2 pm if I haven't had a really great breakfast, lol. And anything I can add maple syrup to is a bonus! Great recipe - sharing 🙂
