Apple & Spice Overnight Oats
Rolled oats soaked overnight in spiced apple cider or juice, topped with whatever crisp apple variety is in the cold room. No cooking required — the oats soften in the liquid overnight. A breakfast that's ready before you need it.
Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- apple (1 crisp variety, diced or thinly sliced)
- raw honey (1-2 tbsp)
🛒 From the Store
- rolled oats (1 cup)
- apple cider or apple juice (1 cup)
- chia seeds (1 tbsp)
- cinnamon (1 tsp)
- cardamom (1/4 tsp)
- vanilla (1/2 tsp)
- salt (pinch)
- walnuts for topping
How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: apple (1 crisp variety, diced or thinly sliced), raw honey (1-2 tbsp), rolled oats (1 cup), apple cider or apple juice (1 cup), chia seeds (1 tbsp), and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: apple (1 crisp variety, diced or thinly sliced), raw honey (1-2 tbsp).
- Use apple cider instead of milk for a deeper flavor — the natural sugars in cider sweeten the oats better than milk and the apple flavor runs all the way through. If using milk, add a tablespoon of apple butter for the same effect.
- Cook for approximately 5 min + overnight. Adjust to taste and serve 2 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
