This recipe for Apple Pie Quinoa Overnight Oats starts with a combination of rolled oats and quinoa flakes. Both of these ingredients add lots of fiber, and the quinoa flakes also add a significant amount of protein.
Next is cinnamon and chia seeds. The cinnamon gives the recipe that oh-so-comforting flavor, while the chia seeds act as the binder to thicken everything up while it sits overnight.
Finally is unsweetened apple sauce and nut milk. The apple sauce adds a hint of natural sweetness and a distinct apple flavor. The milk can be anything that you have on hand – I went with homemade cashew milk, but you can use cow’s milk or any other milk of choice.
These are the basic ingredients for the “overnight” part of this recipe … the delicious filling comes later!
Here is the recommended list of ingredients and measurements for one serving of the “overnight” part of this recipe:
1/2 cup – oats
1/2 cup – quinoa flakes
2 tablespoon – chia seeds
2 teaspoon – cinnamon
1 1/4 cup – almond milk, unsweetened
1/2 cup – applesauce, unsweetened
1/8 cup – maple syrup, pure
Once you have all your ingredients together, you just mix them in a large mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it sit overnight in the fridge.

This calls for chia seeds. I have no clue what they are, or where to find them. And if I did, I sure don’t want the unused prtion sitting around going bad!
