To create the perfect Overnight Spiced Apple Oats, the soaking process is essential. By placing your oats in an airtight container, you not only ensure that they remain fresh but also facilitate the absorption of flavors and moisture. This method allows the oats to soften overnight, resulting in a creamy and delightful texture that is ready to enjoy in the morning.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 medium apple, diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a tart kick)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for a satisfying crunch)

A pinch of salt

Fresh apple slices and a drizzle of almond butter for topping (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions
 

Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well blended.

    Prepare for Soaking: Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers. Ensure that they are sealed tightly, then place them in the refrigerator overnight (or for a minimum of 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak up all the flavors and liquid.

      Morning Prep: When you're ready to enjoy your oats, remove the jars from the refrigerator and give the mixture a good stir. If the oats have thickened more than you prefer, simply add a splash of almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

        Add Crunch and Flavor: Top your overnight oats with a generous sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans for that delightful crunch. For an added touch of tastiness, layer on some fresh apple slices and drizzle almond butter on top.

          Serve and Enjoy: Delight in your nourishing and flavorful Overnight Spiced Apple Oats served cold or warm them in the microwave for a cozy breakfast option.
