Ingredients You’ll Need

These oats use mostly pantry staples you likely already have. Fresh flavors meet simple ingredients for the best results.

• 0.33 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 3 tablespoons 100% apple juice
• 0.5 tablespoon creamy raw almond butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped dried apples
• 0.5 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon
• 1 pinch sea salt

Step-by-Step

1. Place the almond milk, apple juice, almond butter, and half of the dried apples in a high-speed blender.
2. Process for 30 seconds until the liquid base is completely smooth and emulsified.
3. In a sealable glass jar, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and the remaining dried apples.
4. Pour the blended liquid base over the dry ingredients.
5. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until no dry pockets of oats remain.
6. Seal the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours to allow for full hydration.
7. Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator; do not heat.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Eat this chilled directly from the fridge for the best experience. The cold temperature keeps that signature MUSH texture intact. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee. It is the ultimate grab-and-go meal for your morning commute. You can even top it with fresh apple slices for extra crunch.

Keep It Fresh

Keep these oats in a tightly sealed glass jar. They stay fresh for up to four days. This makes them ideal for your weekly meal prep. The texture actually improves after the first night. Always keep them stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.

Recipe Tips

• Use Ceylon cinnamon for the most authentic and delicate spice flavor.
• Do not skip the blending step if you want that pudding texture.

• Make sure your oats are old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats.

Ways to Switch It Up
