PREPARATION FOR CINNAMON APPLE PIE OATS
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, shredded apple, almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are well combined and the oats are fully immersed in the liquid.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to airtight containers and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to soften and the flavours to meld.
- Add Toppings: Before serving, stir the oats well. Top with your choice of peanut butter, additional fresh apple slices, banana, nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips for extra flavour and texture.
- Serve Cold: Enjoy the oats cold straight from the refrigerator, or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a slightly less chilled breakfast.
