Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unflavored collagen peptides (optional for extra protein)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups milk of choice
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 pinch sea salt

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for apple topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare Overnight Oats: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, collagen peptides, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and sea salt. Stir until fully mixed.
2. Divide Oat Mixture: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into 4 containers or mason jars.
3. Prepare Apples: Wash and dice the apples. Place them in a small pot over medium-low heat.
4. Add Maple Syrup and Cinnamon: Stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon until well combined.
5. Cook Down Apples: Cover the pot and cook the apples for 10-12 minutes, or until they have softened.
6. Divide Apple Mixture: Either spoon the cooked apple topping onto each jar of oats or store it separately to add when ready to eat.
7. Garnish and Serve: When ready to enjoy, add an extra drizzle of peanut butter on top, then serve and savor your warm apple pie overnight oats.

Tips & Variations

• Use Greek yogurt instead of milk for a creamier texture and added protein.
• Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
• Add chopped nuts or raisins to the apple topping for extra texture.
• If you prefer a vegan version, use plant-based milk and skip the collagen peptides.

Storage

Store the prepared overnight oats in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep the apple topping separate if you prefer a fresher texture or mix it in ahead of time for a softer consistency. Reheat the apple topping gently on the stove before serving if desired, but the oats can be enjoyed cold or warmed.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen apples for the topping?

Yes, frozen apples work well. Just thaw them slightly before cooking and reduce the cooking time as they will soften faster.

Is it necessary to cook the apples?

Cooking the apples softens them and enhances the warm pie flavor, but you can also use raw diced apples for a crunchier texture if preferred.
