A creamy, indulgent overnight oats recipe that tastes like a cinnamon roll, perfect for a quick, cozy, and wholesome breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk works too)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon (freshly ground or good quality ground)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, raisins, cream cheese swirl

Instructions

  1. Add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats into a mixing bowl or jar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) milk and ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt until smooth.
  3. Stir in 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, and a pinch of salt into the milk mixture.
  4. If using, stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds to help thicken the oats overnight.
  5. Optional: Blend about half of the oats with the milk mixture until smooth, then combine with the remaining oats for extra creaminess.
  6. Pour the milk and spice mixture over the oats and stir well to coat all oats evenly.
  7. Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats well, add a splash of milk if too thick, and top with your favorite nuts, raisins, or a swirl of cream cheese.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; blending half the oats with milk and yogurt creates a creamy pudding-like texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Can be made vegan by using plant-based milk and coconut yogurt and swapping honey for maple syrup. Store in fridge up to 3 days; stir in milk before eating if thickened. Serve cold or warm with a quick microwave.
