Apple Cranberry Pecan Overnight Oats

Hands down, fall is my favorite season. There's just something about the leaves changing and the temps dropping that inspires me to get into the kitchen.  

This week I'll be joining some foodie friends to celebrate the flavors of fall and I'm kicking it off with Apple Cranberry Pecan Overnight Oats. 

This post is sponsored in conjunction with Fall Flavors Week. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.

I started by toasting some chopped Millican Pecan Company pieces in a skillet.  Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn!  I moved them to parchment to cool. 

Then I combined Dixie Crystals brown sugar with Taylor & Colledge vanilla bean paste along with a little water to make a glaze.  

I added whole Millican Pecan Company pecans and tossed them until they were well coated.  I let them set on a piece of parchment. 

I prefer to layer the ingredients in jars, but you can also just toss everything into one bowl and put them into the fridge overnight.  

My layers were- oats mixed with cinnamon, chia seeds, dried cranberries, diced green apple, and the toasted chopped pecans.    

I repeated the layers up through the cranberries.  They look so pretty!

Next I add almond milk.  You can use regular milk or other non dairy options, it all works fine.  Place the lids on and refrigerate overnight.

I eat mine straight from the jar, topped with the delicious brown sugar coated pecans.  You can also heat them up.  Both ways are delicious.
