Applesauce Overnight Oatmeal Recipe

This recipe is almost embarrassingly easy, as well as wonderfully thrifty! Of course, there’s room for personalizing it because you can use homemade applesauce, like I did. If you’re thinking that applesauce is too much work to make from scratch, guess what? I made mine in less than ten minutes using the microwave. And yeah, it’s just as good if not better than any applesauce I’ve ever had. If, however, you opt for a plain store-bought applesauce, make sure you add some cinnamon (or apple pie spices!) to give it some more life.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice (optional, depending on applesauce)
Pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a sealable container (like a mason jar).
2. Stir the mixture, OR seal it tightly and shake vigorously until everything is thoroughly combined.
3. Place in the fridge overnight (or several hours). In the morning, eat cold or warm up for 1-2 minutes in the microwave.
