Are Overnight Oats Healthy?

Yes, these Apple Pie Overnight Oats are healthy. With 10 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein per serving, this breakfast helps keep you feeling fuller for longer and helps slow blood sugar release. Oats are also an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, copper, thiamine, and zinc. Oats also contain a type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Are overnight oats good for weight loss?

Yes, they’re an easy and filling breakfast that’s loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients (listed above) that promote healthy weight loss.

Which is healthier: oatmeal or overnight oats?

Both are equally healthy, but it also depends on what you put in your oats. Whole, real food ingredients like those in this recipe are always the best choice!

Do you eat overnight oats hot or cold?

The answer is both! I usually let them sit on my counter for an hour while I go to the gym or get ready for my day to unwind. Some people like to heat them in the microwave for a few minutes, that’s up to you.

How long do overnight oats keep?

To make this for meal prep, you can double or quadruple the recipe. You can keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

For the apples:

1 Middle Apple, chopped
2 teaspoon Cinammon
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
sea-salt

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine apples, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Mix, then cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.
Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly covering the apples and excess liquid has evaporated.
Remove from the heat and set aside while you prepare the oats.

For the oats:

In a small bowl, combine milk, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup.
Add the oats and mix to combine.
Place 1/4 of the oat mixture in 2 mason jars or airtight containers (with lids).

Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Oats can be eaten cold, at room temperature, or warm.
