A creamy, naturally sweetened overnight oats recipe that captures the cozy flavor of cinnamon rolls without the fuss. Perfect for quick, indulgent, and comforting breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond, or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk of choice, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey. Stir gently to combine (about 2 minutes).
  2. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Soften 2 tablespoons cream cheese by microwaving for 10 seconds if needed. Whisk it into the oat mixture until smooth and creamy. Lumps are okay as they will smooth out overnight.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds for thicker texture and extra fiber (optional).
  5. Pour the mixture into a jar or airtight container, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  6. The next morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with sliced almonds, extra maple syrup, fresh fruit, or other favorite toppings and enjoy.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetener to taste. Chia seeds are optional for thicker texture and added fiber. Store leftovers up to 3 days in fridge. Stir and add milk if oats thicken too much. Vanilla extract enhances cinnamon flavor. Can substitute dairy ingredients for vegan/dairy-free versions.
