Overnight Oats mit Apfel und Zimt

Zutaten

• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin coconut oil
• 1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus extra for serving
• pinch kosher salt
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus extra as needed
• 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt, I use 2% bc that’s what I always have on hand
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans, optional

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Heat the coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the diced apple, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the apple has softened and caramelized. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the oats, almond milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and vanilla. Stir in the cooled apple mixture.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl with a bowl cover or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. 4

   Give the cold oats a stir. They will be thick, so add a splash of almond milk to achieve a looser texture if you wish. Top with pecans, if using, and extra cinnamon, if you wish.
