Ingredients
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
- Mix Ingredients: Combine quick oats, cooked quinoa, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon together in a jar or two jars, depending on portioning. Stir thoroughly to ensure all components are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar(s) and place them in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This makes the oats and quinoa soften and absorb the liquid, producing a creamy texture.
- Finish and Serve: Before eating, dust the top of the oats with additional cinnamon. Place some non-dairy yogurt into a ziplock bag, cut a small corner off, and pipe a swirl of yogurt onto the oats for a decorative and tasty touch. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use cooked quinoa that has been cooled before adding to maintain texture.
- You can substitute non-dairy milk and yogurt with any milk alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk based on preference.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or add fresh fruits for extra flavor.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for convenience.
- For a thicker consistency, reduce the milk slightly or add more chia seeds.
