Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats (GLP-1 Breakfast)
Make this overnight oats recipe when you know you have a busy morning the next day. These are super nutritious and have a good amount of fiber for your GLP-1 diet.
Ingredients
For the Overnight Oats
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (2% or nonfat)
- 1 medium apple, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- 1 tbsp chopped walnuts or almonds
- Extra diced apple
- Drizzle of honey (optional)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a medium bowl or large mason jar and stir to combine.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, then stir well until everything is evenly mixed and the oats are fully coated.
- Fold in the apples: Add the diced apple and stir gently to distribute throughout.
- Divide into containers: Pour the mixture into two individual containers with lids, or keep in one large container if you prefer (each should hold about 1.5 cups).
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight (8-12 hours) until the oats absorb the liquid and soften to a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve cold: Give the oats a quick stir in the morning, add optional toppings if desired, and eat directly from the container or transfer to a bowl.
- Adjust consistency: If the oats are too thick after refrigeration, stir in a splash of almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.
