Description
A quick and easy breakfast that combines classic cinnamon roll flavors in a convenient, no-bake overnight oat recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats (old-fashioned rolled oats preferred)
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Dash Cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- Pecans or walnuts (toasted, roughly chopped)
- 1 tbsp Cream cheese or Greek yogurt drizzle
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, plain
- 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based milk)
Instructions
- In a jar or container, add the rolled oats, maple syrup, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and stir briefly to coat the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk and Greek yogurt, stirring until well mixed and oats are submerged.
- Add a spoonful of cream cheese or an extra drizzle of Greek yogurt on top, and sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the surface.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours).
- The next morning, stir, add another dash of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
For dairy-free options, use almond, oat, or soy milk, and substitute Greek yogurt with full-fat plain yogurt. For a protein boost, use higher-protein yogurt or add a scoop of protein powder.
