Description

This Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oatmeal recipe offers a delicious and nutritious twist on traditional cinnamon rolls without the baking. Combining old-fashioned oats, warm cinnamon, and a sweet touch of brown sugar with chia seeds and flaxseed for added fiber and omega-3s, this plant-based, vegan-friendly breakfast is perfect for busy mornings. Soaked overnight in non-dairy milk and coconut yogurt, it delivers creamy, flavorful oats reminiscent of cinnamon rolls, enhanced with a light maple and lemon yogurt drizzle.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (soy milk recommended for extra protein)
  • 2 tbsp coconut yogurt (or another plant-based yogurt such as almond), divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Icing

  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp oat milk (or another plant-based milk such as soy or almond)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the flavors and nutrients across the dry mixture.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the non-dairy milk, 2 tablespoons of coconut yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture gently but completely to ensure all the oats and seeds are well coated and blended for a creamy texture.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two small mason jars or containers. Cover them tightly and place in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Prepare and Serve: After soaking, stir the oats well. If needed, add a little extra non-dairy milk to reach your preferred consistency. For an optional healthy icing, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut yogurt with maple syrup, lemon juice, and oat milk in a small bowl, then drizzle this over the oats before enjoying your cinnamon roll inspired breakfast.

Notes

  • Use soy milk for extra protein, but any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk works well.
  • The recipe is vegan and dairy-free, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the brown sugar or maple syrup to taste.
  • Can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored refrigerated.
  • For added texture, top with chopped nuts or dried fruit before serving.
