Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Additional plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon icing sugar
- Splash of milk (any kind)
- Extra ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the oat mixture into individual jars or containers with lids. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the oats can soften and the flavors can meld nicely.
- Prepare Topping (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together additional plain Greek yogurt, icing sugar, and a splash of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more milk if needed.
- Serve: Before serving, give the oats a good stir. Top with the prepared yogurt mixture and sprinkle extra ground cinnamon on top. Enjoy your cinnamon roll overnight oats cold straight from the fridge, or warm them up if you prefer.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar or icing sugar according to your taste.
- Chia seeds add texture and fiber but can be omitted if preferred.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
