Overnight Oats
- 2 Cups Rolled Oats
- 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
- 1/2 Cup Unflavored Collagen Peptides (optional)
- 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
Apple Topping
- 2 Apples, diced into small pieces
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- Prepare Overnight Oats: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, collagen peptides, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, creamy peanut butter, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide Oat Mixture: Evenly distribute the overnight oat mixture into 4 separate containers or mason jars, setting them aside for topping.
- Prepare Apples: Wash and dice the apples into small pieces. Place them in a small pot on the stove over medium-low heat to begin cooking.
- Add Maple Syrup and Cinnamon: Add the maple syrup and cinnamon to the pot with the apples, stirring well to combine the flavors.
- Cook Down Apples: Cover the pot and allow the apples to cook down for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become tender.
- Divide Apple Mixture: Once cooked, you can either spoon the warm apple mixture evenly on top of the oats in each jar or store the apples separately to add just before serving.
- Garnish, Serve, and Enjoy: When ready to eat, optionally add an extra drizzle of peanut butter on top for added creaminess and serve immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast.
Notes
- You can use any milk of choice such as almond, oat, cow’s, or soy milk depending on preference or dietary needs.
- Unflavored collagen peptides are optional but add extra protein to keep you full longer.
- For a vegan option, substitute collagen peptides with plant-based protein powder or omit entirely.
- Apples can be cooked ahead and refrigerated separately for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts or granola on top before serving.
- Adjust maple syrup amounts to taste depending on sweetness preference.
- Store overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
