High-Protein Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

Print Recipe

A protein-packed breakfast that combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls with the convenience of overnight oats, perfect for busy mornings or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or any plant milk)
  • 3/8 cup yogurt (about 6 tbsp; Greek yogurt recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, add the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chia seeds. Toss or stir to combine.
  2. Pour in the milk and add the maple syrup. Stir until the mixture looks uniform.
  3. Add the vanilla extract, then fold in the yogurt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Cover the bowl, or divide the mixture into jars with lids, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, loosen with a splash of milk and stir again. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Top as desired and enjoy cold, or warm gently in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Avoid excessive heating for best texture. Freeze in airtight jars for up to 1 month.
