Ready in just a few minutes and set in the fridge overnight, this vegan and gluten-free oatmeal offers a satisfying, nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (such as soy milk for extra protein)
  • 2 tbsp coconut yogurt (or another plant-based yogurt like almond yogurt)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp coconut yogurt (or another plant-based yogurt such as almond yogurt)
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp oat milk (or another plant-based milk such as soy or almond milk)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all the dry components.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk, coconut yogurt, and vanilla extract into the dry mix. Use a spoon to stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined, creating a thick oatmeal mixture.
  3. Refrigerate overnight: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into two small mason jars or airtight containers. Cover them, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
  4. Prepare and add icing (optional): Once the oats have set, give the mixture a good stir. Add extra plant milk to adjust the consistency to your liking. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut yogurt, lemon juice, maple syrup, and oat milk to create a healthy icing. Drizzle this over the overnight oats before serving.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Enjoy your cinnamon roll-flavored overnight oats chilled straight from the fridge for a quick, nutritious breakfast that tastes indulgent without the guilt.

Notes

  • You can use any plant-based milk according to your preference; soy milk works well for added protein.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or maple syrup in the icing.
  • For a crunchier texture, add nuts or seeds as toppings before serving.
  • If you don’t have mason jars, use any airtight container to refrigerate the oats.
  • This recipe is vegan, gluten-free (if oats are certified gluten-free), and suitable for a low-fat diet.
