High-Protein Apple Pie Overnight Oats
High-Protein Apple Pie Overnight Oats combine a creamy vanilla protein oat base with tender cinnamon-spiced apples. The oats are blended for a smooth, pudding-like texture and divided into four make-ahead servings.
Apple Pie Filling
- 2 medium apples peeled and diced small
- 2–3 tablespoons brown Swerve or sweetener of choice, to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- salt Pinch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Creamy Protein Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½–¾ teaspoon apple pie spice
- salt Pinch
- sweetener to taste
Apple Pie Filling
Add diced apples, brown Swerve, water, butter, apple pie spice, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for 2–3 minutes, stir, and continue microwaving in short intervals until the apples are softened and the mixture becomes syrupy.
Remove from the microwave and stir in the optional vanilla extract.
Allow the apple pie filling to cool completely before adding it to the overnight oats.
Creamy Protein Overnight Oats Base
Add the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, salt, and sweetener to a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Divide the oat mixture into 4 containers.
Spoon the cooled apple pie filling into each container. You can stir it in completely or layer it for an apple pie swirl.
Refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
Optional Apple Pie Toppings
- A sprinkle of granola for a ‘pie crust’ crunch
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Crushed on-plan cereal for extra crunch
- Extra diced apples sprinkled with apple pie spice
- Sugar-free caramel drizzle for a more dessert-like option
Tips
- Dice the apples small so they soften quickly and you get apple flavor in every bite.
- Let the apple filling cool completely before adding it to the oats.
- The apple pie spice in both the oats and filling gives the whole jar that classic baked apple pie flavor.
- Add crunchy toppings right before eating so they don’t soften overnight.
