Another addition to the overnight oats recipe collection! These apple overnight oats are comforting and a little spicy. A quick (but important) note on oats. The oats you choose have an impact on your blood sugars. Unfortunately, for those of you who like the instant variety that you just add water to, the truth is they are the low end of the healthy scale. They are more processed & contain less fibre which means they are digested quicker & raise blood sugar quickly. Better choices are jumbo oats, Irish oats, stoneground oatmeal & rolled oats. Bottom line is, the right oats keep you fuller longer, are packed with minerals and fibre.
