A quick and easy overnight oats recipe that mimics the creamy, indulgent flavor of cinnamon rolls with a light cream cheese topping. Perfect for cozy mornings and busy schedules.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, e.g., almond, oat, or regular milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 oz (57g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, and optional brown sugar. Stir well to distribute evenly (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and creamy but not too runny (3-4 minutes).
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to let oats soak and soften.
  4. While oats soak, soften cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Whisk or blend with 1 tbsp maple syrup and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  5. When ready to serve, stir oats to check consistency and spoon cream cheese topping over the oats. Optionally sprinkle extra cinnamon or chopped nuts on top.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Soften cream cheese properly before blending to avoid lumps. Can add nutmeg or cardamom for extra flavor. Store cream cheese topping separately for freshness. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated.
