Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats
Description
This overnight oats recipe starts by mixing vanilla whey protein powder, coconut sugar, and cinnamon with water to form a thick cinnamon-spiced spread. Most of this mixture goes into the base of the serving container. Rolled oats are then combined with almond milk and vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, poured atop the cinnamon layer. The remaining cinnamon mixture is drizzled over the oats before refrigeration.
Soaking overnight allows the oats to soften while absorbing the sweet cinnamon flavor, and swirling the layers before eating ensures every bite carries the cinnamon roll taste. This dish requires no cooking and provides a creamy, balanced texture with a moderate sweetness from coconut sugar and warm spice from cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4-5 tsp water depending on how thick your protein powder is
- 1/2 Cup rolled old fashioned oatmeal (gluten free if needed)
- 1/2 Cup almond milk or any milk you want, unsweetened vanilla
- 1/4 Cup Greek yogurt non-fat, vanilla
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the protein powder, coconut sugar and cinnamon. Slowly add in the water, adding enough until it makes a thick but still spreadable, mixture. Then, spread 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of a cup or small bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the oatmeal, milk and Greek yogurt until well mixed. Spoon over top of the cinnamon mixture.
- Spread, or drizzle all of the remaining cinnamon mixture on top of the oats and refrigerate for at least 6 hours - overnight. (You can also put all the cinnamon mixture on the bottom if you want to make this even easier!)
- In the morning, swirl it all up so you get cinnamon in every bite, and DEVOUR.
