Do you have a house full of guests to impress and limited time (or desire) to wake up and make breakfast? These vegan and gluten free Cinnamon Oatmeal Souffle’s are your answer!
I admit, I’m not the biggest oatmeal fan, it wouldn’t normally be my first choice to serve guests, but this is a completely different twist with flavors reminiscent of warm spiced apple crumble and toasted nuts with vanilla.
I like to serve these in individual ramekins and present as a breakfast soufflé aka my “fancy” breakfast option that allows me to slyly serve my guests a healthy start to their day. I don’t mention until they’re finished that the secret ingredient is a vegetable….
Cinnamon Spiced Oatmeal Souffle
Makes 1-5 inch Ramekin

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease your individual portion size ramekin with coconut oil or grass fed butter and set aside.
