Ingredients

Oatmeal Base
1/2 cup quick oatmeal
1 tsp ground chia seeds (white)
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
optional: 1 heaping tbsp cashew butter, 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

Cinnamon Swirl
1/2 tbsp cashew butter
1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Icing
vanilla coconut yogurt

Method

1. Add all ingredients for the Oatmeal Base to a bowl. Pour over boiling water just to cover the oats. Stir to combine well. Set aside to set up as you work on the next step.
2. In a small bowl (such as a single-serve dip bowl), combine all ingredients for the Cinnamon Swirl. Stir well until it is an even consistency throughout. Scoop into the corner of a piping bag or plastic baggy with a snipped corner.
3. Pipe the Cinnamon Swirl onto the set oatmeal in a swirl pattern to create the cinnamon roll affect.
4. Drizzle vanilla coconut yogurt in a zigzag pattern over the cinnamon roll oatmeal to give it Icing.

Notes:

1. If you prefer rolled or steel cut oats, cook according to package directions or to preference. Mix vanilla, salt, and optional cashew butter and pure maple syrup into 1 cup of prepared oatmeal to create your base.
2. Cashew butter can be substituted for any nut or seed butter of choice.
3. Maple syrup can be substituted by coconut sugar a a bit of water to loosen the consistency of the swirl mixture.
4. Coconut yogurt can be more thick or thin depending on the brand that you purchase from. I recommend using the brand with the consistency of your preference, but you can always adjust thickness if you are limited for options. Thin out coconut yogurt by mixing in a touch of water, or thicken it by letting it sit in a double lining of cheese-cloth or a nut milk bag.
