Scale
Base Ingredients
- 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 separate jars, add the quick oats, cooked quinoa, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar(s) and place them in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a creamy texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, dust the top of the oats with additional cinnamon. Place some extra non-dairy yogurt into a ziplock bag, cut off one corner, and pipe a decorative swirl over the oats. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute non-dairy milk and yogurt with dairy alternatives if preferred.
- For added texture, consider topping with nuts or seeds before serving.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup depending on dietary preferences.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free if gluten-free oats and quinoa are used.
- Make sure to use cooked quinoa; you can prepare it in advance to save time.
