Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

Mornings can be a busy and stressful time for many. So many things to get done with never enough time to do it. The easiest way to make it a little less stressful is to take things off your to do list. Unfortunately, just skipping breakfast will come back to bite you because you will likely be a cranky, hungry person well before lunch. Instead, whip up these Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats the night before. You can grab them on the fly and they will keep you full and happy until lunch. Score!

What Are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are a no-cook method of preparing oatmeal. Instead of cooking oats on the stovetop or in the microwave, you soak them in liquid overnight in the refrigerator. Typically, the oats are combined with milk (dairy or non-dairy), yogurt, or another liquid, along with various toppings such as fruits, nuts, seeds, sweeteners, or flavorings like vanilla extract or cinnamon. The oats absorb the liquid overnight, becoming soft and creamy by morning.

Can You Make Overnight Oats for the Whole Week?

Combine your overnight oats recipe into mason jars for the next few days. As with everything, fresher tastes better so I would only make 2 or 3 days at a time. If you decide to add fresh berries, etc, wait until the morning to add them right before you eat. This recipe makes 6 to 8 servings so it is perfect when you need to feed the whole family. Just making it for you? You can easily cut the recipe in half.

Should Overnight Oats Be Eaten Warm or Cold?

Whether you eat your oats warm or cold is totally up to you! Want them warm, just pop your container in the microwave (just make sure it is microwave safe).

Cinnamon Rolls?

Cinnamon paired with oats and almonds gives you the taste of cinnamon rolls. It’s great for a quick and easy breakfast. Have more time? Make real cinnamon rolls like these Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls From Scratch, Cookies and Cream Cinnamon Rolls or Cinnamon Rolls.
