Equipment

2 mason jar or glass jar with cover
1 spoon
1 Small bowl for mixing healthy icing

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt (such as almond)
1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (I like soy for extra protein)* See note below

Optional: Healthy Protein Icing

1 tbsp coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt (such as almond)
1/2 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp oat milk or another plant-based milk such as soy or almond

Instructions

In a medium size bowl mix together all the dry ingredients: oats, brown sugar, chia seed, flaxseed, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Add in plant milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spoon until combined.
Pour into two small mason jars. Cover and let it set overnight or at least 4 hours in the fridge.
Once oats are set, give it a good stir and add more milk to adjust the thickness to your liking. Make your healthy icing (optional). In a small bowl mix together yogurt, lemon juice, maple syrup, and plant milk. Drizzle this over your final cinnamon roll overnight oats and enjoy!

Notes

⭐️The sweetness of these overnight oats can easily be adjusted. Choose sweetened non-dairy milk for sweeter overnight oats vs. unsweetened for a less sweet version. Adjust your brown sugar or maple syrup to taste - sometimes I like to add in a little extra at the end if it is not as sweet as I like.

Substitutions:

Use maple syrup in place of brown sugar
Use any plant-based milk or yogurt if you don't have coconut or oat
Omit the healthy icing if preferred

Storage:

They last up to 5 days in the fridge (which makes them great for meal prep). Make sure they are in an airtight container so they don't dry out.

Other tips:

Make your icing into a swirl shape just like a cinnamon roll! You can also top with a mixture of cinnamon sugar if desired!
