All the delicious flavours of an apple pie in a healthy, nutritious breakfast, these Apple Pie Overnight Oats are super easy to make and only takes 5 minutes - perfect for a busy morning! #oats #overnightoats #applepie #breakfast #brunch #healthybreakfast #easybreakfast #breakfastonthego #apples #pecannuts #chiaseeds #easypeasyfoodie

All the delicious flavours of an apple pie in a healthy, nutritious breakfast, these Apple Pie Overnight Oats are super easy to make and only take 5 minutes – perfect for a busy morning!  

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

One of my favourite things to do with food is to mix and match and create new and exciting recipes by smooshing together old favourites…like crossing curry with shepherd’s pie to create my Curried Shepherd’s Pie, or mixing slow cooked beef stew with chilli con carne to create a my Slow Cooked Chilli Beef.

And that is exactly what I have done here: I have taken one of my favourite desserts – good old apple pie, and crossed it with a lovely, easy, healthy breakfast – overnight oats (AKA bircher muesli) and hey presto a super easy, super delicious, nutritious breakfast with all the flavours of apple pie!

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

It also just so happens to be gluten free (so long as you use gluten free oats) AND dairy free, if you choose to use almond milk, as I did. (But you can make this with regular cow’s milk too if you want to – I’ve tried it both ways and it tastes great either way.)

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

This recipe is also refined sugar free – with the sweetness coming from the natural sugars in the milk and apples. Also, adding a touch of cinnamon makes this recipe taste sweeter than it really is. Making this breakfast sooo much better for you than the standard sugary processed cereal you get in a box…but hardly any more effort and much more tasty!

And this recipe really will keep you fuller for longer – this easy breakfast kept me going for hours!!

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

If you really must add a touch of extra sweetness to this, then I suggest adding a little drizzle of maple syrup, which would work well with the apples and pecans…but personally I don’t need it in this recipe!

The chia seeds aren’t 100% essential to this recipe…if you don’t want to use them, you can just leave them out, but I have included them as they make the overnight oats extra creamy and add extra goodness too.

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

The thing I love about overnight oats is they are so easy to adapt to your own personal preferences – you could, for example, use a different kind of nut or seed in this recipe – walnuts would also work really well, as would pumpkin seeds. You could also add dried fruit, such as apricots or raisins. And when you are ready to eat your oats, you could top them with some fresh fruit – bananas, blueberries, strawberries – whatever you fancy!

And it’s well worth experimenting with different milks too – normal cow’s milk works well in this, but I actually found I preferred the taste of almond milk.

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

The other thing I’ve discovered is, although this is called ‘overnight oats’…you don’t have to leave it overnight…as little as half an hour will do – so you could throw this together first thing in the morning, then hop in the shower, and by the time you’ve finished getting dressed it will be ready.

Though, of course, the real beauty of overnight oats is that you can make your breakfast ahead of time and leave it in the fridge overnight. If you put it in a portable container, then you can just pop it in your bag and take it to work with you the next day, or even eat it on the way (though not if you are driving, obviously!!) And don’t forget to pack a spoon – this is definitely NOT finger food!!! 😉

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 50 g oats (gluten free oats if you need this to be gluten free)
  • 1 teaspoons chia seeds optional
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 10 pecan nuts chopped (or just break with your fingers)
  • 1 dessert apple grated
  • 200 ml milk any – I like Rude Health almond milk

Instructions

  • Mix together the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon and pecan nuts, then add the grated apple and milk and stir everything together.
  • Leave covered in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • If you don’t like your overnight oats fridge cold, take them out of the fridge to warm up a little before you eat them.

Notes

If you are eating this at home, simply make it in a cereal bowl and cover with clingfilm before putting this in the fridge.
If you are making this to eat on the go, make it in a small plastic box and pop the lid on before you pop it in the fridge.
I’ve put the recipe here for 1 person, but this recipe scales up easily to feed as many people as you need!
Not suitable for freezing.

    I had been thinking of trying something very similar myself! Still not done overnight oats yet – but I did accidentally order 14 cartons of almond milk yesterday! #cookblogshare

      Pahahahaha…that is utterly brilliant, Louise, and just exactly the sort of thing I would do! You’re going to have to try this recipe now!! I remember once managing to order 50 apples when I had meant to order 5…luckily the delivery man took the extra ones back! Eb x

    Oh yum! I love apple pie flavours, maybe because my mum used to make it all the time when I was growing up! I haven’t made overnight oats for a few months but it might be time to be a bit more adventurous, especially as it would be good to vary the children’s breakfasts too! I think one of mine would love this. Thanks so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

      Thanks, Corina! My mum used to make apple pie all the time when I was growing up too. It’s not something I have so often these days, but just thinking about it makes me feel nostalgic 🙂 I absolutely adore the flavours and it’s so nice to be able to have them in a healthy breakfast form too!!

    I love the sound of this Eb – apple pie with a touch of cinnamon is one of my all time favourite flavours! Genius to combine it into an easy breakfast! I have to admit that I’ve never tried overnight oats (I think I’m hung up on it being cold – I just love porridge steaming hot – but I guess I’ll never know until I try it) . Mum loves a bowl full of hot porridge each morning too and she was telling me a wk or two ago that when she’s poured her milk onto the oats before cooking it she had to leave it because she was called away for 10 minutes or so. She then cooked it like she would normally do. She wasso excited when she told me how much creamier it seemed having been left for those few minutes!
    I love your word smooshing – not come across that before. xx

      Thanks Angela! Yep apple pie and cinnamon is is a favourite here too. I love porridge but it just takes that wee bit too long for me in the morning, plus it means extra washing up – and you know how I feel about washing up!! Overnight oats are fab as they are so quick and easy, but I get what you mean about them being cold – maybe one to try when the weather is warmer. 🙂 Eb x

    lovely flavours in these oats – i often make apple pie oat muffins for my breakfast, so I know that I would enjoy your over night oats. x

    This sounds delicious. I haven’t made overnight oats as much over winter but I did make a very similar recipe to yours the other day although I did warm it slightly in the morning!

      Thanks Mandy. It’s funny I am generally a warm food girl, especially in winter…I nearly always make myself a hot lunch, but I am OK with cold things for breakfast…I guess it’s a habit thing – I’ve always been more of a cereal than toast girl and I never have enough time to make porridge! I think this would be fab warmed up too, though! Eb x

    My little monkeys have porridge every day. They would love your overnight oats. Although I always think it’s a great idea to prep the oats ahead, I always forget to do it 🙂 Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.

      Thanks Mel – my little ones love porridge, but I never have the time to make it on a week day so they mostly just have oats and milk – kind of overnight oats without the overnight bit…so just oats really! But they love it!! 😀 Eb x
