Ingredients
- 1 cups (237 ml) almond milk
- 1 cups (237 ml) gluten-free oats
- 1/8 tsp. almond extract
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) dairy-free coconut yogurt
- 2 tbsp. gluten-free granola
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

- 1 tsp. coconut flakes
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup almond milk and oats.
- Cook over medium heat until the mixture is thick, approximately 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat; stir in almond extract and pumpkin pie spice.
- Set aside.
- In a parfait glass or tall jar, layer cooked oats, yogurt, and granola.

Notes
- For a creamier oatmeal, use 1 cup of almond milk instead of 3/4 cup.

- If you don’t have coconut yogurt, substitute with another dairy-free yogurt or even a plain Greek yogurt for a richer flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pumpkin pie oatmeal parfait gluten-free?
The recipe uses certified gluten-free oats, which are naturally gluten-free but often processed in facilities that handle wheat. Look for oats specifically labeled gluten-free to be safe.
Can I prep these parfaits the night before?
Yes, assembling them the night before lets the oats soften and the flavors meld together. Store them covered in the fridge and add any crunchy toppings just before eating.
How prominent is the pumpkin flavor?
The cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice work with the pumpkin puree to give a distinct autumn flavor without being overwhelming. Adjust the spice amounts to your taste if you want it more or less pronounced.
Wow! This looks all kinds of delicious!
