    Apple pie for breakfast? Ummm, yes please.

    I hear so many people looking for quick and easy breakfast recipes. Overnight oats are quick to put together, easily customized, and full of wholesome ingredients like oatmeal, chia seeds, real maple syrup, and probiotic milk.

    We’re also using tons of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to double down on that cozy breakfast feeling.

    This apple cinnamon overnight oats recipe is for one serving, but can be easily scaled up to feed multiple people or keep you in the zone every morning throughout the week.

    Ingredients

    • Old fashioned oats
    • Milk
    • Maple syrup
    • Cinnamon
    • Cardamom
    • Nutmeg
    • Allspice
    • Cloves
    • Half an apple
    • Chopped pecans
    ingredients for apple spice overnight oatmeal.

    How to make apple cinnamon overnight oats

    1. In a small mason jar, combine oats, milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, and spices, stirring to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least a few hours, but preferably overnight.
    2. When ready to eat, stir again and top with apples and pecans.

    Top tips

    What is probiotic milk?

    This oatmeal recipe utilizes Kemps® Probiotic Milk. It tastes just like regular milk but has billions of live cultures in every serving (shout out to acidophilus and bifidus!) which helps with healthy digestion.

    It’s also produced from local family farms so close to my home! This milky miracle is only available in Minnesota and Wisconsin, because we’re some dairy loving people.

    I purchased this product at the Festival Foods down the street from my house which means it’s easy to find because I live in Tiny Town, USA.

    It’s easy to replace one serving of milk a day with Kemp’s Probiotic Milk. If you’re not a regular milk drinker, then these overnight oats are a great way to start. They come out thick and creamy, with plenty of spiced flavor.

    Topping overnight oats with apples

    I like adding the chopped apples just before eating. They stay crisp and juicy, which adds a burst of flavor when mixed with the spiced oatmeal. I recommend drizzling a little bit of honey or maple syrup over the top and finishing with a dash of extra cinnamon!

    How to store apple overnight oats

    Overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a great recipe for meal prep. I recommend making a bunch on Sunday and eating them for breakfast throughout the week!

    Benefits of overnight oats

    Overnight oats are convenient because you don’t need to cook them, they’re ready to be consumed the moment you wake up and throughout the week. They’re also full of fiber and nutrients that will give you energy and keep you full throughout the morning.

    Tips for customizing apple cinnamon overnight oats:

    • Swap Kemps Probiotic Milk 2% with Kemps Probiotic Fat Free Skim to cut the fat in this recipe
    • Use walnuts in place of the pecans
    • Swap honey for the maple syrup
    • If you don’t have all the spices on hand, you can get away with just using cinnamon
    • If you prefer cooked apples, sauté chopped apples in a little butter until soft, let cool, and add to the oat mixture before chilling overnight

    FAQ

    Can I use regular milk instead of probiotic milk?

    You can use regular dairy milk or plant based milk in place of the probiotic milk without making any changes to the recipe.

    Can you use quick oats for overnight oats?

    Rolled oats or old fashioned oats are the best for overnight oats. Instant/quick oats and steel cut oats don’t work well for this recipe since they don’t absorb liquid the same way rolled oats do.

    How long do overnight oats need to soak?

    Despite the name, overnight oats only need about 2-4 hours to soak before they are ready to eat. With this quick soak, they are not as soft as oats that have soaked overnight, but they are still delicious!

    Can I warm up overnight oats?

    If you prefer your oats warm you can definitely warm them in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove top over medium heat.
