Tool Requirements

You’ll need a few basic items to make these apple cinnamon overnight oats. Grab a large jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. This will hold your oats mixture as it soaks overnight.

A measuring cup and spoons are essential for getting the right ratios of ingredients. Don’t forget a sturdy spoon for mixing everything together thoroughly.

If you want to add toppings in the morning, have a small knife handy for chopping fresh apples. A grater can be useful too if you prefer finely shredded apples in your oats.

For serving, you may want a bowl and spoon. But you can eat straight from the jar if you’re in a hurry. Just give it a good stir first.

That’s all you really need! The beauty of overnight oats is their simplicity. With just these few tools, you’ll be ready to prep a delicious high-protein breakfast in no time.

Preparing The Ingredients

You’ll need a few key items to make these protein-packed vegan apple overnight oats. Grab some rolled oats, vanilla or cinnamon protein powder, and your favorite soy milk. Choose a crisp apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.

Don’t forget the cinnamon – it adds warmth and complements the apple perfectly. You’ll also want some chia seeds for extra protein and a thick, creamy texture. A touch of maple syrup or another sweetener rounds out the flavors nicely.

Make sure you have a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid to mix and store your oats overnight. A mason jar works great for this. You’ll also need a knife and cutting board to chop the apple.

Measure out your ingredients ahead of time to make the assembly process quick and easy. This recipe is super flexible, so feel free to adjust amounts to suit your taste. You can always add more milk in the morning if the oats are too thick.

With these simple ingredients prepped and ready, you’re all set to create a delicious and nutritious breakfast that will power you through your day.

Variations To Try

Want to mix up your overnight oats?

• Try swapping the apples for pears or peaches. These fruits add a unique sweetness and texture to your breakfast.
• For a tropical twist, toss in some diced mango and a sprinkle of shredded coconut. This combo brings a taste of sunshine to your morning routine.
• Craving something nutty? Add a handful of chopped walnuts or almonds. They’ll give your oats a satisfying crunch and boost the protein content even more.
• Love chocolate? Stir in some cocoa powder and a few dairy-free chocolate chips. It’s like having dessert for breakfast, but healthier.
• For extra warmth, try adding a dash of nutmeg or cardamom along with the cinnamon. These spices create a cozy flavor perfect for chilly mornings.
• Want more protein? Mix in a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder. Choose vanilla or unflavored to keep the apple cinnamon taste front and center.
• Feeling adventurous? Grate in some fresh ginger for a zesty kick. It pairs surprisingly well with apples and adds a metabolism-boosting element to your meal.

Storage Tips

Keep your high-protein overnight oats fresh and tasty with these easy storage tips.

• Pop them in an airtight container before putting them in the fridge. This helps lock in flavor and keep out unwanted odors.
• Your oats will stay good for up to 5 days when refrigerated properly. That means you can prep a big batch on Sunday for the whole work week.
• Want to enjoy them longer? Try freezing individual portions. They’ll keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
• When you’re ready to eat frozen oats, just move them to the fridge the night before. They’ll thaw out perfectly by morning.
• If you notice any odd smells or signs of mold, it’s best to toss the oats and make a fresh batch. Better safe than sorry!
