These overnight oats are a creamy and satisfying breakfast option with a delightful cinnamon flavor, reminiscent of freshly baked cinnamon rolls.

They are quick to prepare and can be customized with your favorite toppings for a delicious morning meal.

Pro Tips

  1. Layered Presentation: Layer the oats with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a cinnamon-roll-inspired look when serving in jars.
  2. Extra Creaminess: Stir in an additional tablespoon of yogurt for a thicker texture.
  3. Kid-Friendly Option: Top with raisins or a small drizzle of icing (powdered sugar mixed with milk) for a fun, cinnamon roll vibe.
  4. Warm It Up: Heat briefly in the microwave for a comforting, warm breakfast.
  5. Customize Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup or honey to your preferred level of sweetness.

Substitutions and Variations

  1. Dairy-Free Option: Use plant-based milk and yogurt for a fully vegan version.
  2. Low-Sugar: Skip the maple syrup or honey and let the cinnamon provide natural sweetness.
  3. Nut-Free: Skip the nuts and top with seeds like sunflower or chia for crunch.
  4. Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cardamom for a deeper spice profile.
  5. Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make it even more filling.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Batch Prep: Make multiple servings in individual jars for a week’s worth of quick breakfasts.
  • Add Toppings Fresh: For best texture, add toppings like nuts or raisins just before serving.

Tips for Leftovers and Storage

  • Refrigeration: Store in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Adjust Consistency: Stir before serving; add a splash of milk if the oats have thickened too much.

PERFECT FOR MEAL PREP

I often make 3 or 4 jars at once so I have breakfast ready for most of the week. They stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Just remember to give them a good stir before eating and add a splash of milk if they get too thick.
