High-Protein Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy cinnamon-flavored overnight oats with protein boost and sweet cream cheese drizzle for a satisfying breakfast.

# 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, 2% or nonfat
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 sea 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

# How To Make:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
02 - Divide the prepared mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight storage containers, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
03 - Cover containers securely and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight until the oat mixture thickens and the oats fully soften and absorb the liquid.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add milk gradually, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture achieves a pourable consistency.
05 - Remove chilled oats from refrigerator and stir gently to recombine. Transfer each portion to a serving bowl or consume directly from the container. Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over top and optionally garnish with additional ground cinnamon or chopped pecans.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • High in Protein: Each serving provides 27g of protein thanks to Greek yogurt and protein powder.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Takes only 10 minutes to prepare and is ready when you wake up.
  • Deliciously Creamy: Features a smooth cream cheese-style drizzle for a authentic cinnamon roll experience.
02 -
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats to maintain a better, less mushy texture.
  • If the mixture is too thick after chilling, stir in an extra splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Whisk the drizzle thoroughly with a fork to remove any small lumps from the cream cheese.
