About this recipe
Apple and almond overnight oats Thermomix TM7 style are the ultimate healthy breakfast for anyone who loves make-ahead recipes with real gut-friendly ingredients. This recipe brings together rolled oats, chia seeds, fresh apple and ground almonds soaked overnight in your favourite milk, creating a thick, creamy jar that is ready the moment you wake up. Searching for overnight oats recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine? The TM7 handles every prep step: it weighs the oats and chia seeds directly in the bowl, grinds whole almonds into fresh almond meal far finer than shop-bought, and folds the apple and maple syrup evenly through the mixture so every spoonful tastes the same. The result is a silky, subtly sweet breakfast with a pleasant crunch, finished with jewel-toned frozen mixed berries that thaw into a quick compote. Ideal for meal prep Sundays, lunchbox jars or a quick weekday breakfast, this vegetarian recipe also adapts easily to plant-based milks for a fully vegan version.
Preparation tips
- Use a crisp, slightly tart apple such as a Jonagold or Granny Smith so its freshness still shines through after soaking; grate it finely so it distributes evenly through the oats rather than sinking to the bottom of the jar.
- Prepare your jars on Sunday evening and they will be perfect for the next three mornings; keep the frozen mixed berries in a separate small container and stir them in just before eating so they thaw into a fresh sauce.
- For a nut-free lunchbox version, replace the ground almonds with sunflower seeds ground in the mixing bowl, and swap the maple syrup for a spoonful of apple sauce if you want to reduce added sugars.
- Make it fully plant-based by using oat or almond milk and confirming your maple syrup source; the texture stays just as thick thanks to the chia seeds, which do all the setting work overnight.
- For a festive winter variation, stir in a pinch of cinnamon and a grating of fresh nutmeg with the apple, and top with thawed red berries and a few flaked almonds for a breakfast that looks worthy of the holiday table.
