    Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These cinnamon roll overnight oats are the perfect mix of creamy oats, sweet maple syrup and a hint of spice. Made without yoghurt, these healthy cinnamon oats are a fun vegan and gluten free (using suitable oats) breakfast for all the family.

    three glass jars of cinnamon overnight oats with blackberries on top.

    Easy breakfasts are just the thing for a busy weekday morning. When time is tight, I know that anything complicated or that takes too long is not on the menu! If quick breakfast ideas using oats are something you need in your life too, then perhaps you may like to see my mango blueberry smoothie, my apple pie porridge and my berry porridge. All super healthy and easy to make!

    These cinnamon roll overnight oats can be made the night before as a meal prep breakfast, for those that this method of 'cooking' is appropriate (no actual cook time!). Or you can make and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours.

    If cinnamon isn't for you, then perhaps you'll find a tasty spice in my cinnamon substitutes round-up!

    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    Full of flavour. The combination of cinnamon and ginger gives the best hint of spice, and goes so well with the creamy oats.

    Meal prep idea. If making your breakfast or snack ahead of time works for you, then this is a tasty and convenient way to start the day.

    So easy to make. Just combine ingredients in a mason jar or bowl and give them a stir!

    🌰 Ingredients

    individually labelled bowls of oats, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, ground ginger and chia seeds and a spoonful of cinnamon.

    All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

    Some notes on a couple of the ingredients:

    • Oats - use old fashioned rolled oats rather than quick-cook powder oats, and gluten free if required.
    • Non-dairy milk - choose the type that works best for you, whether coconut, hemp, almond or other.
    • Chia seeds - these are optional, but help thicken and are a good source of plant-based protein.

    📖 Swaps and variations

    There is both cinnamon and a touch of ginger in this recipe, but you can leave out the ginger if you prefer or add a touch of cardamom instead.

    Add a few drops of vanilla extract. If it works for you, then ¼ teaspoon will make very delicious cinnamon vanilla overnight oats.

    The chia seeds are optional. You could also add a small pinch of milled flaxseeds.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    With its combination of flavours, these tasty overnight oats with cinnamon are perfectly sweet and super easy to make. Just a few steps:

    oats, chia, cinnamon and milk in a bowl.
    overnight oats mixture in a glass bowl.

    Step 1

    Add all the ingredients (other than any toppings) to a mason jar or bowl that can be sealed. A simple tupperware works well!

    Step 2

    Stir to combine, and then place in the fridge for at least two hours so the oats soak up the milk and spices.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Stir the overnight oats really well so the oats, cinnamon, chia and maple syrup combines with the milk and so the oats can soak up the liquids.
    • If you can, stirring the oats after about an hour really helps to evenly distribute the oats in the milk and so thicken your breakfast!
    • Adjust the amount of spice to preference, and a drizzle of maple syrup to serve if you have a sweet tooth.
    • Add toppings of you choice. Fruit, nuts and seeds are all good!
    • While you can leave the overnight oats, well, overnight(!), they can also just be put in the fridge for a couple of hours to thicken.

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    How are overnight oats different to oatmeal?

    Traditional oatmeal is cooked, often on the stove top, whereas overnight oats are soaked in milk and flavourings for several hours or overnight.

    Which type of oats are best to make these cinnamon overnight roll oats?

    Old fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats. Finer oats go too mushy and steel cut oats don't tend to soak up the milk as well.

    Can I add toppings to overnight oats?

    Fruit, nuts and seeds all work well as toppings for overnight oats.

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
