This Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats recipe is made with vegan yogurt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Add water or soy milk. Either one tastes good.
Soy milk adds an extra rich flavor, but since there's vegan yogurt, it is unnecessary.
Overnight Oats are the perfect breakfast to meal prep for busy mornings. They're also great for on-the-go.
I like to make them for the mornings when I am out and about. They are one of the easiest breakfasts you can make.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- This easy overnight oats recipe is perfect for busy mornings. It is a great make-ahead breakfast.
- Made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, it is made in minutes.
- It is a healthy hearty breakfast.
🧾 Ingredients
- Water: You could also use soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or other non-dairy milk.
- Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds the cinnamon roll flavor. You could also use pumpkin pie spice or chai spices.
- Vegan yogurt: Adds a rich creamy flavor. You could use vegan Greek yogurt for an even thicker oats and creamy consistency. Vanilla yogurt adds a nice vanilla flavor.
- Rolled oats: Rolled oats (old fashioned oats) work best for overnight oats. I used gluten-free rolled oats. They get soft enough while not being too mushy. You could use quick oats, but you won't have as much texture. You could also use steel cut oats. If you do you'll want to soak them for the full 8 hours or more. You'll have more texture than rolled oats.
- Brown sugar: Adds sweetness. You could also use pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, date paste, or agave syrup.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
