🎃 Salted Caramel Apple Pie Overnight Oats 🎃

This overnight recipe will win ALL your house guests over this week and it smells 100% like fall, so it’s perfect for Thanksgiving. What I love most about jarred oats is everyone can modify the ingredients so it’s something they love, and look forward to in the morning.

Ingredients:

½ cup old-fashioned oats

½ cup milk of your choice

1 apple diced

2 scoops of Salted Caramel LifeShake

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Chop apple & add cinnamon then microwave for 45 seconds.

In a mason jar, combine oats, milk, apples LifeShake.

Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Cover the jar with a lid & refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.

In the morning, give the oats a good stir then warm in microwave for 60 seconds! Add your favorite toppings, such as chopped walnuts, cranberries, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt & maple syrup. I ADDED ALL OF IT!

Let the mason jar sit on the counter to get to room temperature before microwaving it.

Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies

Yields: 14 cookies

These cookies taste just like their namesake! Lots of sweet carrots coupled with the hearty oats and cinnamon makes them absolutely irresistible. Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week… If they last that long

Ingredients:
1 cup instant oats

¾ cup whole wheat flour (or GF*)

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

⅛ tsp salt

2 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup pure maple syrup

¾ cup peeled & grated carrots ~1 small - medium

Directions:

1. In medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup until thoroughly incorporated. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the carrots. Chill dough 30 minutes. (If chilling longer, cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the entire surface of cookie dough.)

2. Preheat oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

3. Drop cookie dough into 14 rounded scoops on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly using a spatula. (They don't spread much) Bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

Will you try these? What tweaks would you make? I love carrot cake without nuts so I really like these!
