Sam's Kitchen Favorites

• For this recipe, I used these 18 ounce overnight oat jars with lids.

• I love these silicone mixing spoons. No more scraping the bowl, and the food doesn't stick to them!

• My go-to angled liquid measuring cup . After multiple runs through the dishwasher, the numbers have not worn off.

• For permanently engraved measurements, these measuring cups are fantastic!

• For a more professional yet affordable mixing bowl, these stackable bowls with measurements marks work perfectly.

• Food Processor. I recommend this for quickly turning graham crackers into fine crumbs, chopping nuts, blending ingredients, making sauces, and so much more.

Helpful Tips

• How to make stovetop apples. Dice 3 apples, cook on stovetop covered, over medium heat with desired amount of cinnamon, vanilla extract, butter and maple syrup for about 15 minutes until soft with a slight crunch. Uncover the last 5 minutes. Let them cool before adding to oat mixture.

• Do not skip cooking the apples on the stove: You can save time by simply dicing up apples and mixing them into the oats, however, cooking them gives these oats true apple pie filling flavor. If you choose not to cook them, consider adding cinnamon and nutmeg to your oats.

• To make these oats dairy free: Omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead.

• If omitting yogurt: Use one mashed banana in each oat layer to maintain creamy texture.

• What types of oats are best? I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
