Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Cinnamon Roll Flavor – A comforting, sweet, and spicy flavor that tastes just like a cinnamon roll.
- No Cooking Required – A no-cook breakfast that’s ready when you are.
- Healthy & Filling – Made with wholesome oats, yogurt, and a touch of maple syrup for a balanced, energy-boosting start to your day.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra texture and nutrition)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for a buttery flavor)
- 2 tablespoons crushed walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)
- Drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon for topping (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
In a mason jar or a bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Step 2: Add the Butter (Optional)
If you want to mimic the buttery flavor of a cinnamon roll, add a small tablespoon of melted butter to the mix. This step is optional but adds a nice richness to the oats.
Step 3: Add Chia Seeds (Optional)
For added texture and a nutritional boost, stir in chia seeds. These will absorb liquid overnight, making the oats even creamier.
Step 4: Chill Overnight
Cover your jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours). The oats will soften and absorb all the flavors, making for a creamy, flavorful breakfast in the morning.
Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve
In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Top with crushed walnuts or pecans for a bit of crunch. You can also drizzle extra maple syrup or sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top to enhance the cinnamon roll flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit like banana slices, berries, or apple chunks for a balanced meal.
- Add a dollop of peanut butter or almond butter for extra creaminess and protein.
- Pair with a warm coffee or tea to complete your cozy breakfast.
Tips & Variations
- Vegan Option – Use non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) and dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly version.
- Extra Sweet – If you love sweeter oats, you can add an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a few chocolate chips for a treat.
- Extra Protein – Stir in some protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter for a protein-packed breakfast.
- Store – Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
