This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Silk. All opinions are 100% mine.
It’s official. I’ve totally jumped on the “overnight oats” bandwagon and I’m never getting off! I don’t think there’s an easier, healthier, more delicious breakfast out there! Throw everything in a jar, shake it up, and BAM it’s ready in the morning for an easy grab-n-go breakfast! And it’s perfect for moms like me who have hungry kids early in the morning and want something fast and healthy to feed them!
And speaking of bandwagons, I’ve been on the Silk Almondmilk one for awhile now. The vanilla flavor seriously tastes like a milkshake–without the added calories! And don’t even get me started on the chocolate flavor. I like to put some in the blender with a frozen banana and ice cubes and it makes the best, healthy treat!
I love Silk® Almondmilk products because they’re Non-GMO and they have 50% more calcium than regular milk*! It’s true! And in recipes like Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats it gives it the creamiest, smooth flavor!
Whether you’ve tried overnight oats or not, you’ve got to try this recipe! Easy, healthy and delicious–plus it will keep you full for longer, which it totally my MO lately 🙂
- 1/2 cup Silk® Almondmilk
- 1/2 cup whole grain oats
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce , or freshly grated apple
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
Add all ingredients to a container with a lid. Fasten lid and shake until combined. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 3 hours. Serve cold or warm!

I just started eating oatmeal for breakfast again and love how they keep me full for longer. This looks really, REALLY good. Think I’ll have to make some tonight!
Pam @ Over the Big Moon says
This looks amazing! I have always wanted to try overnight oats and never done it! I think this recipe is going to get me to do it tonight!
Crystal says
This looks good. What size container do I use?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Crystal, This recipe makes enough to fill about a pint size jar or container 🙂 But any big container will work!
Lisa says
Do I have to use almond milk? Will regular dairy milk work just as well?
Lauren Allen says
Yes, you could use regular milk 🙂
Debbie says
If you want it hot……what do you recommend for heating it up and how long?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Debbie, you could heat it up for 1 minute in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed. 🙂
Taylor says
I recommend adding honey to this and microwaving it to thicken it before putting it in the fridge. My oats turned out soupy on the first try but after those changes they were thicker and sweeter.
Jennifer stilger says
how much honey and how long did you microwave? You did this BEFORE putting in the fridge overnight correct? Did you eat the oats cold in the AM or heat them up? I think I would prefer to eat them warm so I was wondering If I should add the honey and heat them twice (PM and AM).
Lena says
Can I also use normal milk?
Lena says
Ooh never mind haha. Another question; can I use regular yoghurt? Or do I HAVE to use Greek yoghurt?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Lena, You can use regular yogurt–I’d just add a little less milk then called for since regular yogurt is thinner than Greek yogurt–otherwise it may be thinner than you’d like. Hope you like it!
Lauren Allen says
Yes, you can use regular milk 🙂
Lisa says

Christie says
How long will this keep in the fridge before eating? Could I make 1 large batch for the whole week and just scoop out a serving each morning?
Lauren Allen says
Definetly! It should keep pretty well for a week.

Kristen says
Just made these yesterday and I’m obsessed. The only differences, I didn’t have almond milk so I substituted regular silk and added one packet of splenda for a little more sweetness. Loved the creaminess and thickness the greek yogurt gives. I got satisfied quick and had a hard time finishing the entire amount because it’s so filling but I somehow managed ;o)
M says
Need to try this with peanut butter! Yaaaas!💁🏼
Julia says
How long can it stay in the fridge? I suppose I was hopeful to make a few at night for the week?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Julia, it should be good in the fridge for 5-6 days 🙂
Kathy says
I don’t have any mason jars like you do in the picture. Would any other container with a lid work?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Kathy, yes, any container with a lid would work!
Kathy says
This was ridiculously easy and super tasty. Fantastic recipe. Thank you for sharing!!
Jyoti says
I’m ahuge fan of overnight oats mixed with some fruits and nuts on the top cinnamon and almond milk 😊😊
Sheila says
Another overnight oats lover here! Chia seeds make them even more amazing 🙂
MySeeds says
A real winner in the hot OR cold recipe category!
Most overnight oats are ‘cold only’ so having one that’s good hot too is a nice find. The applesauce is also a super idea to make it fast/ready to go. Shredding an apple in there as well as the applesauce is also really good for texture/fun. Sheila is right, chia seeds are a fantastic addition, they add protein, omega 3 oils, 2 kinds of fiber & keep you feeling full longer. (Making something this tasty, even healthier easily, is always a win!) For the people who desired ‘a little sweeter’, you can also soak a date or two in hot water, blend it to a puree, and mix it in for a lightly ‘caramel sweet’ touch that gets along well with the apple & cinnamon.
