Simple Gluten-Free Cinnamon-Infused Oatmeal {df}

As Celiac oatmeal was pretty much off-limits for most of my life.

And when I was un-diagnosed, oatmeal constantly gave me tummy aches along with carbs and pastries, and even pancakes because of wheat, rye, barley, spelt to the point that I hardly ever had a pastry, bread, or oatmeal.

Oats are considered not gluten-free unless labeled because of the way they are processed and contaminated in the fields.

However, some Celiac disease patients can easily digest gluten-free oatmeal, and I realized after cleaning out my diet for the last few years and eliminating so many foods and chemicals on top of gluten, I was able to bring back gluten-free oatmeal on the occasion.  Enter my Simple Gluten-Free Cinnamon-Infused Oatmeal.

Oatmeal is a hearty, and fulfilling breakfast that is really easy to make.  It's creamy, and thick sans dairy, fully plant fuel, and only uses 4 ingredients.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY GLUTEN-FREE OATMEAL 

• Take out a bowl
• Add ⅓ cup quick-cooking certified gluten-free oats
• Followed by ¾ cup of your favorite plant-based milk.  I used coconut milk
• Use a pinch of sea salt or pink salt
• Microwave for 1 ½ minutes or slightly longer if your Microwave is older
• Stir in the maple syrup
• Let cool

That chocolate cup in the middle will blow your mind.  It's my OMG Everything Caramel Crunch Cups recipe and they are so divine, you only need one placed smack dab in the middle of your gluten-free oats breakfast.  Watch it melt.  All the superfoods and hearty seeds pour out, swallowed in dark creamy chocolate.  All you need is a spoon.  Just one mix, and it's a swirl of heaven in your mouth.  Plus this dish is so nutrient-dense that you'll be set the entire morning.

And if you want that extra creamy rice pudding texture for your gluten-free oatmeal do not follow any box for directions.  Just use my directions below.  The consistency is ridiculously perfect.

Notes

So Delicious Coconut Milk is the best, that’s the green carton at the market.  The green carton is unsweetened. // For gluten-free oats, I like Nutsdotcom, Purity Protocol and Bob’s Red Mill // For a sugar-free version only use 2 teaspoons of maple syrup – that’s how I love it! // Please note that Runamok Maple is not a gluten-free company.  They use a shared facility, and yes those lines are clean in between as they take it very seriously.  The infused collection is gluten-free and I highly recommend the one I used for this recipe.  It’s fun having different maple syrups from Vermont to try. // Add THIS to the middle of your oats for a superfood boost! // 

Health and love,
