apple & walnut overnight oats
Breakfast is an important part of my morning routine, but sometimes, life gets in the way of making breakfast in the morning. This is when I love having this overnight oats, which will help me have the best start to my day without any effort.
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
REST TIME: from minimum 30min to overnight
INGREDIENTS
For the overnight oats:
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup rolled oats (use fine oat flakes if you don’t want to wait overnight)
1 scoop optional vegan protein powder (I used unflavoured soy protein from myvegan)
1/2 cup soy yoghurt (I used vanilla soy yoghurt from alpro, but if you are using a plain one, just add 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract to the yoghurt)
1/4 tsp clove, ground (optional, skip if you don’t love it)
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
3/4 cup soy milk (I use soy for a higher protein option, but any of your favorite plant-based milk is fine)
Toppings:
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 red apple (I used pink lady)
1/4 cup frozen raspberries
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp agave syrup
1/4 cup walnuts
DIRECTIONS
Cut an apple into small, bite-sized pieces and add these into a pan along with the frozen raspberries, agave syrup and cinnamon. Let them cook down for around 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring them around frequently to make sure they don’t burn. Once done, set them aside.
Finely chop the walnuts and set them aside.
Mix everything in a large mason jar / bowl for the “overnight oats”.
Top with the peanut butter, walnuts and apple raspberry mixture. I highly recommend mixing it together to make the best flavour.
Close the jar with a lid or cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge for overnight for a quick meal-prepped breakfast OR let it set for 30 minutes and enjoy.
