Finishing making these delicious Apple Pie Quinoa Overnight Oats while your oats are getting all nice and thick in the fridge.
Part 2 of this recipe is making the apple pie “filling” that turns the basic oats and quinoa breakfast into a breakfast treat resembling a truly decadent dessert. (And it’s totally healthy!)
To make the filling, you’ll now need these 5 ingredients:
2 medium – apple
2 teaspoon – cinnamon
1/8 cup – maple syrup, pure
2 tablespoon – water
1 tablespoon – chia seeds
Essentially, you’re making a quick apple chia jam (or a thick apple sauce depending on how you look at it) to use as your layering for the overnight oats.
And it couldn’t be easier to make: just toss everything in the pot together (minus the chia), bring it to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 5 minutes. Once the apples have started to soften and the mixture has thickened up, stir in your chia seeds.
Then when you’re ready to serve scoop the overnight oats into jars or glasses and top with the apple pie filling. Or if you want to get a little fancy, you could make parfaits!

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!
