5-Minute Apple Overnight Oats

If you try not to skip your breakfast but don’t really have time in the morning to prepare something elaborated, I have a great solution for you. Make simple overnight oats with grated apple!

The night before, in 5 minutes make this healthy, ridiculously easy and delicious oats. In the morning, just add your favourite toppings. This can be choped or whole nuts, coconut flakes, chopped chocolate or fresh or frozen berries. Also, other fruits are great, such as banana or passionfruit.

I totally get it. Whoe has time in the morning? Unless you are a crazy morning person who enjoys being up early! Most of us I believe stay in a comfotable and warm bed until the very last minute. Am I right?

So anything easy and fast always comes very handy. That’s why I made these super simple 5-minute overnight oats. And because they are overnight, you save some much precious time in the morning.

In this cold weather (if you are in Europe like me or anywhere in the northern hemisphere) oats are great. Some people prefer warm oat porridge and some people like cold oats.

This is a basic recipe. For your toppings, you can add whatever you like. I really like to add some nuts to mine. Raw cashews,  hazelnuts, walnuts… They are all great and also a source of healthy fats. Seeds will do you a favour too – hemp seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seed or pumpkin seeds.

Add some berries if you like or other fruits. You can mash banana and mix it with oats or slice it and add it n the top.

If you would like to keep your breakfast gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.
