If you’re an overnight oats fan, my Vegan Apple Pie Overnight Oats are a must make. They’re the creamiest and best overnight oats ever! Today I made a cheats apple pie version using a combination of grated and sliced apple with cinnamon but you can use this base recipe and pair with any topping you like. Raisins are also a nice addition if you can tolerate dried fruit.
How to make Overnight Oats Super Creamy Without Dairy
The key to making the creamiest vegan overnight oats is to use a combination of nut milk and coconut yoghurt. I like to use Plenish unsweetened almond milk and Coyo vanilla coconut yoghurt or natural. They’re my absolute favourites because both don’t contain any gums, carrageenan or added sweeteners. Just the good stuff. These Apple Pie Overnight Oats are also delicious with oat or cashew milk if you prefer.
If you want to up your nutrient intake even more you can try Plenish enriched almond milk. Fortified with calcium, iron, B vitamins and vitamin D their enriched range means you get the nutrients of cows milk but in a plant based, anti-inflammatory alternative.

Top Tips On How To Make These Apple Pie Overnight Oats Extra Special
- My favourite way to enjoy this is, when ready to serve, grate 1/4 apple and stir through the oats add add a few whole slices or chopped apple on top for different textures.
- Option to toast the almond flakes. To do this, preheat the oven to 200C / 180 fan. Place the almonds on a non stick baking tray and roast for 4 - 6 minutes until golden or dry fry in a non stick frying pan on a medium / low heat until golden. Allow to cool before serving.
