This cinnamon roll overnight oats recipe captures the cozy flavors of cinnamon rolls in a quick, healthy, and easy-to-make breakfast. It combines creamy oats, cinnamon, and a touch of sweetness for a balanced and indulgent start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cinnamon-Maple Swirl:
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
  2. In a small bowl, mix ½ teaspoon cinnamon with 1 teaspoon maple syrup to prepare the cinnamon-maple swirl.
  3. Pour the cinnamon-maple mixture over the oat mixture and gently swirl it in with a spoon or skewer for a marbled effect.
  4. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Optionally top with chopped nuts, raisins, or nut butter before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant or steel-cut oats are not recommended. Swirl cinnamon-maple topping gently for a marbled look rather than mixing it in. Chia seeds help thicken and add fiber. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt and milk and swapping maple syrup with agave nectar. Add fruit or nuts as desired before serving. Keeps up to 4 days refrigerated.
