High-Protein Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats (Print Version)

Creamy overnight oats with cinnamon roll flavors, protein-packed and topped with cream cheese drizzle.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 30 grams)
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
07 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
09 - Pinch of salt

→ Cream Cheese-Style Drizzle

10 - 2 tablespoons light cream cheese, softened
11 - 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
12 - 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
13 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - 1 to 2 teaspoons milk, as needed for consistency

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all components are evenly incorporated.
02 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, distributing contents uniformly.
03 - Cover containers and refrigerate overnight, or for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing oats to absorb liquid and soften completely.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined. Add milk one teaspoon at a time until mixture reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
05 - Stir the chilled oat mixture and transfer to serving bowls. Top each portion with cream cheese-style drizzle and optionally sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like cinnamon rolls but keeps you full until lunch without the sugar crash.
  • You wake up to breakfast already made, no morning panic or skipped meals.
  • The cream cheese drizzle makes it feel indulgent even though it's packed with protein.
02 -
  • Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing or it will be lumpy no matter how hard you whisk.
  • Don't skip the chia seeds, they're what make the oats thick and creamy instead of soupy.
  • If your protein powder is sweetened, cut the maple syrup in half or the oats will taste too sweet.
03 -
  • Use certified gluten-free oats if you're sensitive, regular oats can be cross-contaminated during processing.
  • If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen them up.
  • Make the drizzle the night before and keep it in the fridge, just give it a quick stir before using.
