These cinnamon roll overnight oats transform the classic bakery favorite into a wholesome, make-ahead breakfast. Made with hearty oats, warm cinnamon, and a creamy glaze-inspired topping, this comforting jar tastes indulgent while keeping you energized all morning.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the glaze topping:
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Splash of milk (as needed for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Add the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to a bowl or jar. Stir well until fully combined and the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
  2. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  3. In the morning, prepare the glaze by mixing the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Add a splash of milk as needed to reach a smooth, drizzle-friendly consistency.
  4. Stir the oats well, then spread or drizzle the glaze over the top. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Rolled oats provide the best chewy texture; quick oats will result in a softer consistency.
  • For added crunch, stir in chopped pecans or walnuts before chilling.
  • Add raisins for a cinnamon raisin variation.
  • For higher protein, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder and add extra milk as needed.
  • To make dairy-free, use plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, and dairy-free cream cheese.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Heat for 30–60 seconds in the microwave if you prefer warm oats, adding the glaze after reheating.
