Caramel Apple Overnight Oats (with Date Caramel!)

It’second been a minute since I’ve made overnight oats and I’k SO glad I did. I CANNOT get over how good engagement caramel is. If y'all’ve never had it, it’second made past blending dates together with a touch on of hot H2O inward the nutrient processor or blender until super creamy. It’s the perfect accompaniment to these oats in addition to makes them a G times healthier than using existent caramel sauce.


Having a healthy breakfast prepped and make to become is such a lifesaver. There are so many times I’ve been tardily to where I was going because I HAD to make breakfast. I HAVE to consume a existent breakfast as well as non a bar or piece of fruit..but doesn’t cutting it for me.

This recipe reminded me to prep more than breakfasts and so I don’t have to prepare every unmarried forenoon. information technology’S SO GOOD.

Warm cinnamon apples. There isn’t really a meliorate scent or gustatory modality during the autumn. SO perfect and nostalgic. I wanted to fix the apples a piddling flake earlier adding them to the oats because it makes them a trivial sweeter in addition to not as tart. I idea it worked beautifully.


I desire to pose this stuff on EVERYTHING. Date caramel makes a perfect sweetener for smoothies, oatmeal, desserts yous’re trying to lighten up, a spoonful when yous’re craving something sugariness..the possibilities are endless.

And the best function is, you alone ask dates together with water!

The cinnamon apples mixed amongst the creamy engagement caramel, amongst fresh  chopped apples on tiptop is SUCH a good combination. It actually does sense of taste similar a caramel apple, which is form of crazy because there’s no refined sugar inwards this too it just happens to live vegan, also! AND, easily made gluten free if you function gluten gratis oats.

Favorite healthy fall breakfast! Go arrive.
