Cinnamon-Roll Overnight Oats offer the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls in a nutritious and easy-to-make breakfast. They're creamy, subtly sweet, and perfect for busy mornings when prepared the night before.
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (see Tip) 2 1/2 cups unsweetened nondairy milk, such as almond or coconut 6 teaspoons light brown sugar 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that the oats are evenly coated with the yogurt and almond milk mixture, and that the cinnamon is distributed throughout for consistent flavor.
Transfer to Container: Transfer the oat mixture into a jar or airtight container with a lid that seals tightly. This container will be used for refrigeration overnight.
Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak and soften overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve and Customize: Before serving, give the oats a good stir to mix any settled ingredients. Adjust the consistency with a splash of almond milk if needed. Top with additional cinnamon, nuts, fresh fruit slices, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
