Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp chia seeds

1 tbsp ground flaxseed

Pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt (such as almond)

1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (soy for extra protein is recommended)

For the Healthy Protein Icing (optional):

1 tbsp coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt

1/2 tsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp oat milk or another plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, chia seeds, flaxseed, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Add the plant-based milk, coconut yogurt, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.
  3. Transfer to jars: Pour the mixture into two small mason jars or containers with lids.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the jars and place them in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
  5. Stir and adjust consistency: Once the oats have set, give them a good stir. If the oats are too thick, add more milk to adjust the consistency to your liking.
  6. Make the icing (optional): In a small bowl, combine coconut yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, and oat milk. Stir well to create a smooth, drizzleable icing.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the healthy icing over your cinnamon roll overnight oats and enjoy!

Notes

  • Sweetener: Substitute maple syrup for the brown sugar if preferred, or use a sweeter non-dairy milk to adjust the sweetness.
  • Toppings: Add a swirl of cinnamon sugar on top or sprinkle with chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) for added texture.
  • Fruit Add-ins: Add fresh fruit like banana slices, berries, or apple chunks for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • No icing: Skip the healthy icing topping if preferred.
