Ingredients
Method
- Combine Base: In a jar or bowl, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, and unsweetened almond milk. Stir well.
- Add Flavour: Sprinkle cinnamon over the mixture and stir until evenly blended.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the oat mixture.
- Sweeten (Optional): Add sugar-free honey or your preferred sweetener if desired, and stir.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
- Serve: Enjoy straight from the fridge, or let it sit at room temperature briefly. Top with extra fresh apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra cozy touch.
Notes
Tips & Swaps:
- For the best results and a super creamy texture that's easier to digest, always soak the oats overnight.
- Use unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred alternative) for a dairy-free base.
- For natural sweetness throughout, you can grate the apple instead of dicing it.
- Briefly toast the cinnamon in a dry pan before adding it for an intensified aroma and flavor.
- Another lovely way to serve this "apple pie in a jar" is to layer the mixed oats and milk neatly, then add extra diced apples, and repeat the layers. Finish it off with some blueberries & some crushed nuts. (Another way I love to have this)
- If you're not a fan of chia seeds, flaxseeds make a great alternative for added fiber.
