A creamy, cinnamon-swirled overnight oats recipe that offers a no-cook, comforting breakfast perfect for busy mornings. This recipe mimics the flavor of cinnamon rolls with a healthy, easy-to-make twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional).
  2. Add 1 cup milk, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until well combined and oats are fully coated.
  3. Mix in 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon and, if using, 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese. Break cream cheese into small bits and mix thoroughly to dissolve evenly.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with chopped nuts, extra cinnamon, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup as desired.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats can get mushy. Whisk wet ingredients separately to avoid cinnamon clumps. Chia seeds are optional but recommended for thickness and nutrition. Adjust sweetness to taste. Mix-ins like nuts or fruit add texture and flavor. If cream cheese lumps remain, whisk longer before refrigerating. Can be warmed gently if preferred.
