These Applesauce Overnight Oats are made with fresh apples, applesauce, and cinnamon, and nutmeg.
They are a great way to get in more fruit or veggies. So is a Green Juice Cleanse.

🧾 Ingredients
- Gluten-free rolled oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats. They get soft enough while not being too mushy.
- Applesauce: Adds a sweet apple flavor. Use my raw applesauce recipe for added nutrients.
- Cinnamon and nutmeg: Adds warming spices that go so well with apples.
- Maple syrup: I used maple syrup because it is one of my favorite sweeteners. You could also use agave syrup, dates, brown sugar, white sugar, or a sugar-free sweetener.
- Almond milk or soy milk: I like almond milk and soy milk because they are rich and creamy. You can use whatever dairy-free milk you like.
- Salt: To enhance the flavors and bring out the sweetness of the maple syrup.
- Walnuts: For some crunch. You could also use pecans or leave them out altogether.
- Apple: I used a Gala apple, but you could use whatever your favorite is.
