Ingredients Needed

  • For the base:
  • ½ cup quick oats
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (your choice, like almond or oat)
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy yogurt (for creaminess and tang)
  • For sweetness and spice:
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (for added fiber)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (with extra for dusting)

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar (or two jars for sharing), mix the quick oats, cooked quinoa, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
  2. Stir Well: Make sure everything is combined thoroughly. This ensures the flavors meld together as they soak.
  3. Refrigerate: Seal the jar(s) and place them in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
  4. Add Finishing Touches: In the morning, dust the top with extra cinnamon and place yogurt in a ziplock bag. Cut a small corner of the bag and pipe a swirl of yogurt on top for a nice presentation.
  5. Enjoy: Dig in! You can enjoy it straight from the jar or transfer it to a bowl.

How to Serve Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

Serve these oats straight from the jar for a quick breakfast or transfer them to a bowl, adding fresh fruit or nuts for extra texture and flavor. A drizzle of more maple syrup can add an extra sweet touch!

How to Store Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, where they will keep well for up to 3 days. If the oats seem too thick when you want to eat them, stir in a bit more milk to loosen them up.

Tips to Make Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

  • Customize Your Flavors: Feel free to add nuts, dried fruits, or even a splash of vanilla extract for a flavor twist.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, simply add a bit more maple syrup to your liking.
  • Batch Prep: Make several jars at once to enjoy throughout the week for quick breakfasts.

Variations

You can swap out the quinoa for other grains, such as cooked brown rice, or add in different spices like nutmeg for a varied flavor. For a creamier texture, consider using coconut yogurt instead of non-dairy yogurt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of quick oats?

Yes! However, you will need to increase the soaking time to at least 8 hours, or simply cook them before mixing.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just ensure your oats are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.

How thick should the consistency be?

The oats should have a creamy consistency. If they are too thick for your liking, you can stir in additional non-dairy milk before serving.
