This healthy morning staple tastes like a quiet fall morning and should be prepped ahead of time, bringing you peace even on your busiest days.
- 2 Apples
- 1 tablespoon melted Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 2 tablespoons Almond Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Dairy Free Milk – almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, etc.
Pour your oats into a jar and add almond butter, chia seeds, and milk. Mix until combined and cover with a lid to store in the refrigerator to sit overnight.
Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cut your apples into half inch chunks and spread the pieces on a baking dish. Melt coconut oil and stir in cinnamon and maple syrup. Pour the coconut oil mixture over the apples and bake for 35 minutes. Store the baked apples in a separate container in the refrigerator and serve as a topping to your oats.
