Description
These creamy Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats combine the flavor of a cinnamon roll with the convenience of a make-ahead breakfast. Perfectly sweet, nutritious, and easy to prepare in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
Pinch of salt
1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla flavor (Simply Organic or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor)
2 tbsp coconut yogurt (Cocojune Organic Coconut Yogurt or Kite Hill Almond Yogurt)
1 cup plant-based milk (soy, oat, or almond)
Optional Healthy Icing:
1 tbsp coconut yogurt or almond yogurt
1/2 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp oat milk or other plant milk
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, chia seeds, flaxseed, and salt until well combined.
2. Add alcohol-free vanilla flavor, plant-based yogurt, and milk. Stir with a spoon until smooth.
3. Divide the mixture into two small mason jars or airtight containers.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the oats soften and thicken.
5. Before serving, stir well. Add more milk if needed for a creamier texture.
6. To make the icing (optional), mix yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, and oat milk in a small bowl.
7. Drizzle the icing on top of the oats to create a cinnamon roll swirl.
8. Serve chilled or slightly warmed and enjoy.
Notes
The sweetness can be adjusted easily. Use sweetened milk for a sweeter version or unsweetened for less sugar.
Coconut or almond yogurt makes the oats extra creamy.
To add more protein, stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
The oats last up to 5 days in the fridge. Keep them in an airtight container.
For added texture, top with chopped pecans, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before serving.
