Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- ½ cup quick oats
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp non-dairy yogurt, plus more for drizzling
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon, plus more for dusting
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or two jars, add the quick oats, cooked quinoa, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir everything together well to ensure the cinnamon and sweetener are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar(s) and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours. This allows the oats and quinoa to soak up the liquid and the chia seeds to thicken the mixture for a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Before eating, dust the top with additional cinnamon. Place some non-dairy yogurt in a ziplock bag, cut a small corner, and pipe a swirl over the top. Enjoy this ready-to-eat, nutritious breakfast straight from the jar.
