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

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a jar or container, combine the quick oats, cooked quinoa, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute all the ingredients ensuring the oats and quinoa are well coated.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and quinoa to soak and absorb the flavors and liquids, resulting in a creamy, thick texture.
  3. Prepare to Serve: Before serving, dust the top with additional cinnamon for that signature cinnamon roll taste and aroma.
  4. Add Yogurt Swirl: Place extra non-dairy yogurt into a small ziplock bag, cut a corner of the bag, and pipe a swirl of yogurt onto the top of the oats for a creamy finish and attractive presentation.
  5. Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dig into this cozy, nutritious cinnamon roll inspired breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use cooked quinoa for added protein and texture; prepare ahead if you don’t have any ready.
  • Non-dairy options such as almond, oat, or soy milk and yogurts maintain a dairy-free profile and add creaminess.
  • Maple syrup is a natural sweetener but can be adjusted or substituted with honey if not strictly vegan.
  • Overnight soaking softens oats and quinoa, so no cooking is required in the morning.
  • Add toppings like chopped nuts, raisins, or seeds for extra texture if desired.
