Ingredients
- Old-fashioned rolled oats
- Milk (any type—dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- Chia seeds
- Maple syrup or brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
- Cream cheese or Greek yogurt drizzle
- Chopped nuts or pecans
- Extra cinnamon and maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
- Stir well to ensure everything is mixed and the chia seeds don’t clump.
- Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Serve: In the morning, stir and enjoy cold, or microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.
- Top with a drizzle of cream cheese, nuts, or more cinnamon and syrup for that full cinnamon roll experience.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, stir in a spoonful of whipped cream cheese before chilling.
- Use plant-based yogurt and milk for a vegan option.
- Add chopped dates or raisins for a cinnamon-raisin twist.
- Mash banana or applesauce can replace sweeteners.
- Stir in protein powder for a post-workout boost.
