Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup quick oats
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
Flavor and Texture Enhancers
- 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 well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar(s) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Finish with Toppings: Before serving, dust the top of the mixture with a little more cinnamon. Place some non-dairy yogurt in a ziplock bag and cut a small corner off. Pipe a swirl of yogurt on top for a decorative finish, then enjoy your cinnamon roll-inspired breakfast treat!
Notes
- For best texture, use quick oats as they soften faster than old-fashioned rolled oats.
- Cooked quinoa adds protein and a slight nutty flavor, making the dish more filling.
- Non-dairy options like almond, soy, or oat milk and yogurt work well to keep it vegan.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup depending on your preference.
- Chia seeds not only thicken the oats but also add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Make ahead breakfast perfect for busy mornings; oats can be stored refrigerated up to 3 days.
