What to Serve With Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are a simple and delicious breakfast option that can be served with a variety of foods. This meal would go well with a side of fresh fruit and some coffee or tea.
If you're aiming for a larger breakfast, try pairing the oats with a side of scrambled eggs, toast with nut butter, or even turkey bacon or chicken sausage for extra protein.
Extra Toppings
If you want some extra flavour in your oats, try adding these toppings:
- Additional fruit like berries, banana slices, or pomegranate seeds
- Chopped almonds or pecans, chia, flax, or pumpkin seeds
- Granola
- Nut butter
- Coconut flakes
- Dark chocolate chips
- Whipped Greek yogurt
Equipment Needed
- 4 jars and lids
- Small/medium pot
- Spatula
Tips for Making Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Razi suggests these tips to make the most out of your overnight oats:
- You don't have to store the oats in a jar, Razi just finds this way the most convenient. You can also store in any container or mug.
- You can make up to 5 for the entire week, but Razi personally thinks 4 is a sweet spot for flavour!
- Allow your apple pie mix to slightly cool before covering the oats with a lid and storing in the fridge.
Additional tips include:
- Use rolled oats for the best texture. Avoid quick oats, as they can become too mushy, and steel-cut oats, which may not soften enough overnight.
- Add other spices like nutmeg, allspice, or even a pinch of cloves to enhance the apple pie flavour. Vanilla extract or almond extract can also add extra depth to the oats.
- Add any toppings just before eating to avoid sogginess. This will also give you a nice mix of textures.
- If you want your oats served warm, heat them up in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds before eating. Just make sure to stir before heating to prevent clumping.
- If the oats are too thick in the morning, simply add a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
Batch Cook and Store Safely
This recipe makes four servings, so you can store and eat your overnight oats throughout the week. For storage, use airtight containers like Mason jars to maintain freshness.
After you've prepared your oats, pop them in the fridge immediately for storage. The oats and apple pie filling will continue to absorb flavours and soften as they chill.
You should eat your oats within 4-5 days for the best taste and texture. Remember to check for freshness once you open your oats each morning to ensure they're still safe to eat (they'll be fine if they were stored properly). If you're adding toppings, store them separately and add them right before you have your oats to avoid sogginess.
You can eat your oats as they are or heat them up by popping in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. If you do this, stir them halfway through and add a splash of milk to loosen them up.
If you want to store your oats long-term, you can freeze them in freezer-safe containers for up to three months. Then simply thaw overnight in the fridge or microwave for a quick defrost. Keep in mind that the texture might change slightly after freezing.
Make it Vegan
To make this recipe vegan, simply use non-dairy milk and yogurt (almond, soy, coconut, oat, etc.) and swap the protein powder for a vegan protein like THE Plant Protein. Additionally, if you're using a powdered sweetener, ensure it's vegan as some brands contain bone char.
