Ingredients

Oats Base:

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp coconut sugar (or light brown sugar, adjust to taste)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 ¼1 ½ cups dairy-free milk (unsweetened almond, soy, or oat milk)

¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins:

2 tbsp hemp hearts

2 tbsp vegan vanilla protein powder (if sweetened, omit sugar above)

Cinnamon Swirl & “Icing”:

1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ cup vanilla dairy-free yogurt (e.g., plant-based vanilla cinnamon yogurt)


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a bowl, whisk together oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sugar. Add protein powder or hemp hearts if using.

  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    Stir in dairy-free milk and vanilla extract until fully combined. For thicker oats, use 1¼ cups milk; for slightly looser, use 1½ cups.

  3. Refrigerate:
    Cover the bowl or divide into jars. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.

  4. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl:
    Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

  5. Assemble Jars:
    Spoon 1-2 tbsp of oats into jars, sprinkle cinnamon sugar around edges, then add more oats. Repeat until jars are full. Top each jar with 2 tbsp dairy-free yogurt.

  6. Serve & Store:
    Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Whisk dry ingredients first for even flavor.
  • Adjust milk for your preferred texture.
  • Layer cinnamon sugar between oats for a classic cinnamon roll effect.
  • For less sugar, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on jar edges only.
  • Perfect for meal prep—makes 2 servings but easily scaled up.
