"These apple cinnamon overnight oats are a delicious whole grain healthy breakfast! This easy make-ahead recipe combines sweet tart apples, warm cinnamon, and chewy oats for the perfect morning meal. I've been making overnight oats for years, but this apple cinnamon version has quickly become my family's obsession! The sweet tart chunks of apple add delicious texture, while the cinnamon heightens the cozy flavors. My son immediately asked me to make another batch!"
"Choose the right apple variety. I like using crisp tart apples like Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith because they hold their texture overnight without becoming mushy. If you know me, you'll know I'm a huge Pink Lady fan: this is my top choice here! Don't skip the chia seeds. That half tablespoon might seem small, but chia seeds are crucial for binding everything together and creating a creamy texture (but not so much that it comes out gooey - my pet peeve!)."
Apple cinnamon overnight oats combine rolled oats, tart apples, warm cinnamon, and chia seeds into a make-ahead whole-grain breakfast that serves two and doubles easily for meal prep. Crisp tart apple varieties such as Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith hold texture overnight without becoming mushy. Old-fashioned rolled oats yield a soft, creamy texture without turning mushy; quick oats are usable in a pinch, while steel cut oats do not soften enough overnight. A small amount of chia seeds binds the mixture and creates creaminess without producing a gooey result. The oats are ready after two hours but benefit from refrigerating overnight.
