A creamy, cinnamon-spiced overnight oats recipe that tastes like a cinnamon roll but is quick, easy, and healthy. Perfect for cozy mornings and a comforting start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey/agave)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, raisins, cream cheese glaze (cream cheese and powdered sugar)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, add ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using), 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: Add ½ cup milk of your choice, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry mix. Whisk until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a 12-ounce (350ml) mason jar or airtight container. Seal tightly.
  4. Refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. Before eating, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Add optional toppings such as chopped pecans, raisins, or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut oats won’t soak properly and instant oats get mushy. Freshly ground cinnamon enhances flavor. Stir before eating to redistribute flavors. Can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt and milk and swapping maple syrup for agave. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Microwave 30-45 seconds if you prefer warm oats.
