Indulge in the wholesome goodness of dairy-free apple cinnamon overnight oats. Packed with nutrients, these oats are a delicious blend of flavours and textures perfect for your morning routine.
This recipe makes the perfect make-ahead candida diet breakfast. This recipe combines the earthy richness of organic rolled oats with the freshness of grated green apple, all infused with the warmth of sweet cinnamon.
Don't get me wrong, I love to enjoy regular oatmeal in the morning, and on the candida diet I particularly liked this coconut chia seed oatmeal recipe. However, when the weather is a little warmer or you just need something ready-made in the morning, then this recipe is just the ticket.

1. In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, powdered xylitol and a pinch of salt.

3. Add the unsweetened coconut yogurt and almond milk. Thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring that the grated apple is evenly distributed.
4. Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavours to meld and the oats to absorb the liquid.
In the morning, indulge in the convenience of your ready-to-eat breakfast. Portion out your desired serving size into a bowl and serve with your favourite toppings such as fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, roasted almond butter, or a spoonful of homemade unsweetened apple sauce.
? Substitutions
If nut allergies are a concern, replace almond milk with coconut or oat milk, and substitute the almond butter for sunflower seed butter.
⚖️ Variations
Customize your overnight oats by experimenting with different fruits, such as mashed strawberries instead of apple, as well as using different spices such as vanilla or pumpkin spice.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by modifying the amount of powdered xylitol.
Add a scoop of unsweetened candida diet-friendly protein powder to stay satisfied for longer.
? Equipment
A bowl for mixing and an airtight container for refrigerating are all you need to prepare this dish. Either make a large batch to spoon out into individual servings, or pre-portion into single serve containers for a grab-n-go breakfast.
? Storage
This Dairy-Free Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe is ideal for meal prepping. Store the oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, ensuring a hassle-free and wholesome breakfast throughout the week.
✨ Top Tips
Although overnight oats can be made with just plant milk, I strongly recommend the addition of the coconut yogurt for a creamy more indulgent texture and flavour.
Choose a plant based unsweetened yogurt with live cultures for added nutritional value.
Don't have any yogurt to hand? You can make your own protein-packed, dairy free yogurt using a pack of silken tofu you may already have in the cupboard with my sugar free Lemon Blueberry Yogurt recipe.
❓ FAQ
Certainly, feel free to substitute powdered xylitol with your preferred sweetener such as stevia or erythritol. Adjust quantities to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
