A creamy, cinnamon roll-inspired overnight oats recipe that is quick, easy, and perfect for cozy mornings. No baking required, just a delicious and comforting grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup milk (240ml) – dairy or plant-based like almond or oat
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g), plain or vanilla
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (25g)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp butter flavor or melted butter (optional)
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, raisins, or a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute flavors.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk and Greek yogurt. Add vanilla extract and melted butter or butter flavor if using. Stir gently until combined; mixture should be thick but pourable.
  3. Transfer to jar: Spoon the oat mixture into a glass jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  4. Refrigerate: Place the jar in the fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, to let oats soak and soften.
  5. Swirl before serving: Stir gently to swirl cinnamon and settled ingredients. Add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if desired.
  6. Add toppings: Top with chopped nuts, raisins, or cream cheese for extra flavor.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get too soggy. Mix dry ingredients first to avoid uneven cinnamon patches. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tang. Soak at least 6 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture. Add a splash of milk in the morning if too thick. Use glass jars for freshness and portability. Variations include vegan, low-sugar, seasonal fruit additions, and protein boosts.
