Creamy Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats Recipe for a Delicious Breakfast


  • Author: tasty

Description

Start your day off right with this Creamy Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats recipe! It’s a perfect blend of warm cinnamon flavors, creamy oats, and a touch of sweetness—just like enjoying a cinnamon roll but in a much healthier, quick-to-make form. Prep it the night before, and wake up to a delightful, fuss-free breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
