Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (regular or gluten free)
- 3 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk of choice
- ½–1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 2 – 3 tsp brown sugar (or maple syrup)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp melted butter
- 1 drop vanilla extract
- Milk (add 1 tsp at a time until desired consistency)
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, vanilla Greek yogurt, milk, cinnamon, chia seeds, brown sugar or maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt (if using) in a jar or container that can be sealed. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Seal the container and place in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors, softening to a creamy texture.
- In the morning, if the oats are too thick, stir in a little more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Whisk together maple syrup and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the overnight oats to add extra cinnamon sweetness.
- In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, melted butter, a drop of vanilla extract and milk (adding one teaspoon at a time) until you achieve a thick but pourable icing. Drizzle over the oats for a rich finishing touch.
- Enjoy the overnight oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them slightly if you prefer. Either way, it’s a delicious, convenient breakfast with the comforting flavors of a cinnamon roll.
