Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- First, make sure you have everything ready. There’s nothing worse than starting a recipe only to find you’re missing a crucial ingredient.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the gluten-free oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Stir them together lightly. You want to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate container or measuring cup, whisk together the non-dairy milk, coconut cream (or yogurt), vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt. This blend adds flavor and creaminess.
Step 4: Combine Both Mixtures
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly mixed. Ensure there are no dry clumps and it has a good consistency.
Step 5: Refrigerate
- Cover your bowl or jar securely and place it in the fridge overnight. This step is crucial as it allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
Step 6: Serve
- The next morning, your oats should be thickened and creamy. Spoon them into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. You can mix in fresh fruits, seeds, or some dark chocolate for that extra flair.

Notes
- Experiment with Flavor: Don’t hesitate to switch up the spices. Nutmeg or ginger can add a delightful twist.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer your oats sweeter, adjust the maple syrup to your taste.
- Check the Consistency: If the mixture is too thick in the morning, stir in a bit more non-dairy milk until it reaches your preferred creaminess.
- Make it Ahead: Prepare multiple servings at once. These oats stay fresh for up to five days.
- Get Creative with Toppings: The right topping can truly change your oats. Try nuts, fruits, coconut, or a swirl of nut butter.
