Overnight oats have to be one of the best breakfast foods ever! I mean, what’s better than waking up to a delicious meal that’s ready to enjoy?

Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

The combination of sweet, crisp apples in creamy overnight oats with a pinch of cinnamon will have everyone looking forward to the next morning.

These oats are a perfect meal prep recipe and it couldn’t be any easier. We are talking 5 minutes of prep and you’re done! Make a few jars, store them in the refrigerator, and you won’t have to think about breakfast for the rest of the week. They are good for up to 5 days.

If you like this recipe, then you’re sure to fall for the Apple Pie Overnight Oats. Diced apple caramelized with cinnamon and maple syrup, then stirred into the oat base, it’s divine!

Overnight Oat Ingredients

You don’t need anything fancy to pull off an incredible and balanced breakfast. This one uses pantry and kitchen staples I always keep on hand.

  • Old-fashioned oats
  • Milk or a non-dairy alternative
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Apples

Did you know these overnight oats are also a clean eating recipe that even the kids will enjoy? By swapping regular milk with a non-dairy alternative and honey for sugar, these are wholesome and 100% delicious.

I love to mix up my overnight oats using a variety of ingredients, like chopped apples for this Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats, bananas for Bananas Foster Overnight Oats, strawberries, pumpkin pureé, and so much more!

    My husband is on a special renal dialysis diet. So in his case he needs low low sodium. Low phosphorus or high high high potassium.

    I would appreciate it so much and will finally be able to use your amazing recipes but I can’t because I have to know those specific things.

      I’m certain most of the recipes on here would be safe to use, you’ll just need to know which foods are naturally higher in phosphorus or what his doctor recommends.
