Ingredients
Oats:
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 cups nondairy milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Caramel:
  • 6 large dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk
Apples
  • 2 apples
Instructions
  1. Make the Oats. In a mason jar or plastic container, combine all the oats layer ingredients. Put the lid on the jar or container and give it a good shake. Store the oats overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Make the caramel sauce. In a food processor or blender, add the dates and process until a thick paste forms. Add the almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform. While the processor is running, stream in the almond milk until the mixture is thick and syrup-like. Store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the oats.
  3. Prepare the apples and assemble. Core and chop the apples into small cubes. Divide the apple cubes into 4 equal portions. Grab 2 jars or bowls. Drop 1 portion of apple cubes into each jar. Then, drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over the apples. Layer ⅓ cup of the overnight oats mixture over the apples and caramel. Repeat this step with another layer of apples, caramel sauce, and overnight oats.
  4. If desired, drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the top and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Notes
There will be some leftover caramel sauce to use however you’d like!
