Have a hard time remembering to eating breakfast in the mornings? No? Just Me? Well I am on a mission to change that and this Honey Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe is the perfect solution!
Have you tried overnight oats before? I have a few times, this Cherry and Almond Overnight Oats recipe I shared before was pretty good… but you know how it goes, you get busy, you let your bad habits get the best of you, and the next thing you know your average day doesn’t include eating until after noon! Opps!
And yes, I know! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Believe me I know! But I wake up, make coffee, let the dogs out, etc, etc, and get right to work… Next thing I know I’m 4 cups of coffee deep into my morning and its almost 12 o’clock and I’m STARVING! So breakfast for me needs to be quick, simple, tasty, and not require a whole lot of time or effort.
And when you’re not a fan of eggs, and have a hard time finding a gluten free protein shake mix that you actually like for smoothies, breakfast is a CHALLENGE.
Part of my focus for 2017, is to RISE above my health struggles. Living with an auto-immune disease is not easy. Running a business, a blog (and a 2nd and 3rd one coming soon!), a handmade shop and a house isn’t easy on my best days, and nearly impossible when my body doesn’t want to cooperate. Making sure I give my body the fuel it needs to do everything I need it to do has been a priority and inspired this Honey Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe!
And let me tell you this Honey Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe is a totally winner! I’ve had it 3 mornings in a row, and its kept me filled and fueled up and ready to take on the day!
This Honey Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe makes enough for 2 mason jars full of breakfast yumminess and only takes a few minutes to put together.
Honey Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups of steel cut oatmeal
1 cup plain greek yogurt
2 apples (grate or fine chop 1, save the other for morning)
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp Cinnamon (reserve 1/2 tsp for garnishing)
2 Tbsp Wild Flower Honey
Directions:
Mix the oats, yogurt, milk, 1 apple (chopped or grated), cinnamon and honey in a bowl. Stir well.
Spoon in to mason jars, and add a little more milk if desired.
Leave in fridge over night.
Before serving, top each mason jar of overnight oats with 1/2 of the 2nd grated apple, a drizzle of honey and a light dusting of cinnamon.
If you love apple pie, than you’re going to LOVE this Honey Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe! Because who doesn’t love dessert for breakfast? This is totally a healthy and delicious overnight oats recipe that the whole family will love!

January 9, 2017 at 2:02 pmThis sure looks good, and it doesn’t get much easier than this. A healthy breakfast – much better than the mug cake I had that was supposed to be my dessert for tonight!

January 9, 2017 at 11:14 pmLooks Iike a great recipe to add to the breakfast rotation! One question… those look like rolled oats, and not steel cut? Or is there a steel cut rolled oat?
Jennifer says
January 10, 2017 at 1:08 pmI just looked at the container and they’re “old fashioned oats” I guess that means rolled, and not the steel cut I told my husband to get LOL

January 16, 2017 at 7:54 pmAll these overnight oats recipes sound so delicious! I keep wanting to try them, but never had any success getting into them. What can I say, I like my oats hot. But I bet that a warm version of this could be made, too. Thanks for sharing!

March 11, 2017 at 3:42 pmI love overnight oats, but I can’t eat them cold either. I pop mine in the microwave for one minute each morning! 🙂

October 23, 2017 at 6:40 amIs the 2 tablespoons of cinnamon listed in the recipe correct? I wasn’t really thinking as I made it, but as soon as I stirred it it I was like that’s a LOT of cinnamon. I let it chill overnight and sure enough this morning my oatmeal is still very dark brown and bitter. I can see how this would be delicious with a smaller amount, so next time I’ll try 2 teaspoons instead! The texture was great and I love that it used yogurt so I get a little protein too!
Jennifer says
October 23, 2017 at 3:12 pmOh my goodness! You’re correct! Its not the right amount of cinnamon! fixing that now 🙂
