Best Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Report
These creamy cinnamon overnight oats taste just like a cinnamon roll in a bowl! With only 5 simple ingredients, they’re naturally sweet, gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and the perfect cozy breakfast—no bananas needed!
Share:
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk oat, almond, regular (plain or vanilla)
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free or regular
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a sealable mason jar or small container, combine the milk, rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and maple syrup. Stir well with a spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, ensuring that all oats are submerged in the milk.
- Add the cinnamon and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully combined.
- Seal the jar or container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 6 hours, up to 5 days.
- When ready to serve, top the oats with sliced bananas, walnuts, or any desired fruit. For added sweetness, drizzle with a dash of maple syrup, honey, or add a dollop of peanut butter if desired. Enjoy chilled!
Notes
- Rolled Oats: substitute with quick oats, the texture will be softer. Do not use steel-cut oats.
- Customization: Experiment with different flavors and toppings to make your overnight oats unique to your taste preferences. Yogurt, nut butter, berries, and banana slices are all great options.
- Temperature: You can enjoy your overnight oats cold from the fridge (my preference) or warm them up in the microwave or on the stove.
- Add Protein Powder: Boost the protein content of your overnight oats by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder. This is a great option for those looking to increase their protein intake.
- Add Yogurt: Incorporate yogurt into your overnight oats for added creaminess, protein, and probiotics. I like vanilla or plain for this cinnamon overnight oats recipe.
- Add Nut Butter: For a rich and nutty flavor, stir in a spoonful of your favorite nut butter, such as almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter. This will also increase the protein and healthy fat content of your oats.
