Effortless Cinnamon Oats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract if you want
02 -
1.5 tablespoons maple syrup (use more or less for sweetness)
03 -
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon—keep some extra for later if you like
04 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds—only if you want, but they're great
05 -
120 ml Greek yogurt or swap in coconut yogurt
06 -
240 ml whichever milk you usually drink (almond, oat, dairy, you name it)
07 -
240 ml old-fashioned oats (rolled oats work best)
→ Cinnamon Swirl
08 -
1 teaspoon melted butter or coconut oil
09 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Eat cold straight from the fridge or warm it up a bit if you want. Throw a little extra cinnamon or anything else you like on top.
02 -
Scoop oats into two jars or whatever containers you’ve got with a lid. Pop 'em in the fridge for at least 8 hours so everything thickens up and soaks in the flavors.
03 -
Gently swirl the cinnamon paste through the oats so you get ribbons of flavor, but don’t totally blend it in.
04 -
Mix your brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter or coconut oil together in a little bowl until it’s smooth and smells amazing.
05 -
Combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon, syrup, and vanilla in a bowl. Give it a good mix so it all looks and feels even. Splash in extra milk if it feels too dry.
# Notes:
01 -
Want it extra creamy? Use a bit more yogurt or add more milk when you're ready to eat.
