Prepare this high protein cinnamon roll overnight oats recipe the night before for a quick, satisfying, and make-ahead breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess/protein)
  • Pinch of salt
  • For topping: A drizzle of light cream cheese glaze (powdered sugar mixed with a splash of milk/water)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together well.
  2. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the dry mixture. If using Greek yogurt, add it now.
  3. Stir or shake the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and no dry clumps remain.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your preferred texture.
  6. If desired, prepare a simple glaze by mixing a small amount of powdered sugar with a few drops of milk or water until smooth. Drizzle over the oats.
  7. Serve cold directly from the jar.

Notes

  • For a true cinnamon roll experience, use a high-quality cinnamon.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free option, use almond or soy milk and a plant-based protein powder.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; make 3-4 jars at once for the work week.
