Description

Cinnamon Bun Overnight Oats are a delicious and healthy breakfast option inspired by the flavors of a classic cinnamon roll. They’re creamy, naturally sweetened, and perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon


Instructions

  1. In a mason jar or bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Stir until everything is well combined.
  3. Seal the container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  4. In the morning, stir the oats again and add more milk if needed to adjust consistency.
  5. Top with your favorite toppings such as chopped pecans, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  6. Enjoy chilled or warm it up in the microwave if preferred.

Notes

  • You can prepare multiple jars for a quick grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt to make it fully vegan.
  • Add a spoonful of cream cheese for a more indulgent, cinnamon bun-like flavor.
