Description

This Easy Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats recipe is a quick and delicious no-cook breakfast option that combines wholesome rolled oats with warm cinnamon and sweet maple syrup. Soaked overnight for the perfect creamy texture, it’s topped with a rich cream cheese glaze, sliced bananas, and optional nuts or granola, offering a comforting and nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant oats for the best texture)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more for extra spice)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and thickness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)

Toppings

  • Cream cheese glaze (recipe below)
  • Sliced bananas
  • Nuts or granola (optional)
  • Drizzle of almond butter or vanilla yogurt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, mix the oats, milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined for consistent flavor and texture.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This soaking process allows the oats to absorb the liquid and become creamy and soft.
  3. Serve and Top: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to blend the mixture. Add your favorite toppings such as a generous drizzle of cream cheese glaze, sliced bananas, a sprinkle of nuts or granola, and optionally a drizzle of almond butter or vanilla yogurt to elevate the flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats can become too mushy.
  • Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and help thicken the oats.
  • Feel free to swap maple syrup with honey or your preferred sweetener.
  • The cream cheese glaze adds a delicious cinnamon roll flavor but can be omitted for a lighter breakfast.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity based on personal spice preference.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to make multiple servings.
  • Overnight oats can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
