Most days I like to start my day with a healthy smoothie, but when I want a warm hearty breakfast I reach for oatmeal. It fills me up for hours and it's super easy to make.
For this recipe, I used steel cut oats because that's what I happen to have on hand. If you prefer rolled oats, check the liquid-to-oats ratio on the bag as well as the cooking time. Steel cut oats take longer to cook and require more liquid.
A similar recipe using cinnamon is my Vegan Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats with Yogurt.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's a hearty breakfast that you can customize to your liking.
- Steel cut oats are less processed than rolled oats and they take longer to digest, so you'll stay full longer.
- It's really easy to make and you can make them the night before.
🧾 Ingredients
- Steel cut oats: I like to buy them in the bulk section of the grocery store so that I only buy what I need. Being gluten intolerant, this is probably not the smartest thing to do since it might be cross-contaminated. If you have Celiac disease it would be better to buy a package that says gluten-free. Quinoa also works great in porridge. Check out my Breakfast Quinoa with Almond Milk.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened so that I can control the amount of sweetener. Use your favorite plant-based milk.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness and a lovely maple flavor. You could also use brown sugar, agave syrup, or date paste.
- Cinnamon: I like to use Ceylon cinnamon because it only contains a trace amount of coumarin. Some cassia cinnamon products contain a high amount, which can be a problem for sensitive people.
- Salt: Balances the sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
