Ingredients

Protein Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats:

¾ cup milk of choice (I used Fairlife 2%)
½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 ½ tbsp plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

Combine all cinnamon roll overnight oats ingredients in a medium glass jar or container. Stir until well combined, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Whisk together the protein drizzle ingredients until there are no lumps and everything is smooth and well combined. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Drizzle the sweetened Greek yogurt over the overnight oats, then serve!

Notes

Storage Directions

Store prepared oats in the refrigerator for up to four days in a jar with a tight-fitting lid or an airtight container. I don’t recommend freezing overnight oats for the best texture. Enjoy the oats cold or warm them up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if desired.

Recipe Tips

Stir well before refrigeration. Mix all the overnight oat ingredients until they are well combined to help prevent the protein powder and chia seeds from clumping. This will ensure that each bite is smooth and all flavors are evenly distributed.
Adjust the consistency to taste. If the oats are too thick when you are ready to enjoy them, stir in a splash of milk to loosen the mixture.
Make ahead. These oats stay fresh for up to 4 days in the fridge! Make several servings in advance so you have ready-made meals ahead of time.
Add toppings. Feel free to garnish the oats with chopped pecans for a crunchy texture, a dollop of almond butter for extra creaminess, or adorn with bananas or fresh fruit for added sweetness.
