CAN I ADD PROTEIN POWDER?

Yes, you certainly can make protein overnight oats. Choose a protein powder with a flavor that complements cinnamon, such as vanilla protein powder. Add one scoop of protein to your oat mixture and stir well. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, add more milk to achieve your desired consistency.

ARE OATS GLUTEN-FREE?

While oats do not contain gluten, choosing certified gluten-free oats is crucial to ensure they haven't been contaminated during processing. Always check product labels and, if in doubt, contact the manufacturer for clarification.

IS THERE A NON-DAIRY SUBSTITUTE FOR YOGURT?

Yes, use a dairy-free yogurt like coconut yogurt.

CINNAMON ROLL OVERNIGHT OATS (EASY!)

Description

Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats contain yogurt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and oats, making them the best, quick, and easy breakfast that takes less than 5 minutes to make. It's like having a cinnamon bun transformed into a nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup milk of choice

1/4 cup plain yogurt (you can also swap this for 1/4 cup milk)

1 teaspoon chia spoon

2 teaspoons brown sugar (you can swap this for maple syrup or honey)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional topping

1 teaspoon icing sugar (powdered sugar)

1/4 teaspoon water

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Mix the rolled oats, milk, and yogurt (or milk if substituting) in a jar or container to create a creamy base.
Add the chia seeds and brown sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness level). Sprinkle in the cinnamon.
Stir the ingredients thoroughly, seal the container, and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid, resulting in a perfect, ready-to-eat breakfast in the morning.

For the Topping:

Add the icing sugar and water together. Drizzle on top of the oats to make a sugary topping.

Or add a scoop of thick Greek yogurt and a dusting of cinnamon.

Notes

Separation is Normal: After chilling, you might notice that the oats have absorbed the liquid and thickened. A quick stir before serving will help mix everything together again.

Use Quality Ingredients: Start with high-quality rolled oats, fresh milk (dairy or plant-based), and a good-quality plain yogurt. The better your ingredients, the better your overnight oats will be.

Seal Tight for Freshness: Use a container or jar with a tight-sealing lid to keep your overnight oats fresh in the refrigerator. This also allows the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors fully.

Experiment with Overnight Time: While the standard is to chill overnight, feel free to experiment with shorter or longer chilling times. I would suggest a minimum of 2 hours of chilling time before eating.
