Description
A delicious and healthy breakfast option that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls with the protein-packed goodness of overnight oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 1 ounce)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons light cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 teaspoons milk, as needed for consistency
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all components are fully integrated.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, ensuring consistent distribution.
- Cover containers and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours until the mixture thickens and oats soften completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Gradually add milk one teaspoon at a time, whisking continuously until the drizzle reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Stir the overnight oats thoroughly and transfer each portion to a serving bowl. Drizzle the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top and optionally sprinkle additional ground cinnamon.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
