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)
Flavoring
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon (plus more for dusting)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a jar or two separate jars, combine the quick oats, cooked quinoa, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the jar(s) with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, softening into a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Before eating, dust the top with additional cinnamon. Then, fill a ziplock bag with some non-dairy yogurt, snip off a corner, and pipe on a decorative swirl of yogurt on top. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk to keep it vegan.
- Cook quinoa ahead of time or buy pre-cooked for convenience.
- The non-dairy yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tang; coconut or almond yogurts work well.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling nuts or seeds before serving.
- Ensure to cook quinoa properly to avoid a crunchy texture.
