Description

This Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oatmeal recipe offers a delicious and nutritious twist on traditional overnight oats, combining warm cinnamon and brown sugar flavors with the convenience of a no-cook, make-ahead breakfast. Perfect for busy mornings, this creamy and flavorful oatmeal is made with oats, chia seeds, flaxseed, plant-based yogurt, and non-dairy milk, topped with a healthy icing for an indulgent yet wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (such as soy milk for extra protein)
  • 2 tbsp coconut yogurt (or another plant-based yogurt such as almond)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Healthy Icing (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp coconut yogurt (or another plant-based yogurt such as almond)
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp oat milk (or another plant-based milk such as soy or almond)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly combine the oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This blend forms the flavorful base of the overnight oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the non-dairy milk, plant-based yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a spoon until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Pour the mixture evenly into two small mason jars or containers. Cover them tightly and place in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to set and absorb the liquid for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor development.
  4. Prepare to Serve: After chilling, stir the oats well, adjusting the consistency by adding more non-dairy milk if desired to reach your preferred thickness.
  5. Make Healthy Icing: In a small bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt, lemon juice, maple syrup, and oat milk. Mix until smooth to create a creamy, lightly sweetened icing.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the icing over each serving of oatmeal. Enjoy this delicious and healthy cinnamon roll-inspired breakfast cold or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute the non-dairy milk with any plant-based milk you prefer; soy milk adds extra protein.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or maple syrup in the icing according to taste.
  • For added texture, top with nuts or seeds before serving if desired.
  • This recipe is vegan and gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
  • Overnight oats can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
