Friends… is it possible to eat too many apples? 😆
I may have found the easiest, most flavorful, overnight oats recipe I’ve ever had. It’s so easy there’s no excuse but to get some more fiber in your diet.
Can I get an Amen? 🙌🏾😆
Fiber in the morning helps stabilize your blood sugar, so you avoid energy crashes and stay full longer. It also supports healthy digestion and gut function, helping your body feel more balanced and steady as you start your day.
Let’s first give credit where credit is due. I found this recipe in the Sweet Potato Soup Vegan cookbook. Ms. Claiborn does a great job adding flavor to vegan recipes. Don’t let the “vegan” word steer you away. It’s truly about eating more plants, not a lifestyle.
This specific overnight oats I do not eat cold. In the morning, I transfer the mixture to a bowl and warm it up in the microwave. It’s soooooo good!!
⚠️ Warning… when warming it up the, apple smells so delicious, you may get others wanting a bite! Which is exactly what happened when I warmed it up at work haha!!
🍎 Pro Tips (Not Required but Helpful)
- Consider using a chopper to chop the apples. It just gives the dish a bit more delight! Of course this is NOT required, only if you want to be fancy!
- Mason Jars are my best friend! The best price right now seems to be Ace Hardware… I used them over and over.
