Cinnamon Oats (Print Version)
Treat yourself to soft cinnamon oats with creamy layers of yogurt and sweet maple, all prepped the night before for a fuss-free morning.
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract if you like
02 -
1.5 tablespoons maple syrup (or just enough for your taste buds)
03 -
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon, grab a bit extra for topping
04 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds (toss in if you want)
05 -
120 ml Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (take your pick)
06 -
240 ml unsweetened almond milk, or use another kind you enjoy
07 -
240 ml rolled oats (old-fashioned ones work best)
→ Cinnamon Swirl
08 -
1 teaspoon coconut oil, or melted butter works too
09 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar
# Steps:
01 -
Dig in cold straight from the fridge or nuke it for a bit if you want it warm. Sprinkle on some cinnamon at the end or pile on your favorite toppings before you eat.
02 -
Scoop everything equally into two jars that close tight. Pop the lids on and let them hang out in the fridge at least 8 hours. This lets the oats soak up all the goodness and get thick.
03 -
Take your cinnamon mixture and gently swirl it through your oats. Don't mix the whole thing together — you want those tasty streaks all over.
04 -
In a small bowl, smash together your brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and your coconut oil (or butter) until you get a sweet paste that smells awesome.
05 -
Toss your oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, all that cinnamon, maple syrup, and a bit of vanilla into a mixing bowl. Give it a strong stir until it all looks smooth. Add extra milk if it's too thick for you.
# Notes:
01 -
Want extra creamy oats? Just drop in a bit more yogurt or splash in extra milk before eating.
