    These easy cinnamon overnight oats are simple to make and it’s easily adaptable to suit your preferences.  Put the oats together in about 5 minutes and you have breakfast ready for the morning.  They’re quick, vegan, gluten-free, and made without yogurt.

    Ingredients

    Rolled Oats - They are the basis for my overnight oat recipes.  I like to stick to old-fashioned for texture purposes. 

    Dairy-Free Milk - Any dairy-free milk will work.  Some are creamier than others, use your favorite.  I prefer a 1:1 ratio of milk to oats, but if you like your oats a bit thinner, then add a splash more.

    Ground flaxseed - The ground flaxseed makes the oats a little thicker.  Chia seeds can be used instead, but I prefer to reduce the amount to 1-2 teaspoons instead of a tablespoon.

    Raisins - They are little pops of chewy sweetness.

    Maple Syrup - Any sweetener will work for the oats, agave, or brown sugar can also be used.  Alter the amount to fit your own unique sweetness preference.

    Ground Cinnamon - Can’t have cinnamon overnight oats without the cinnamon!

    Vanilla extract - To make these vanilla cinnamon overnight oats, add about ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract for more flavor.

    How to Make Cinnamon Overnight Oats

    ingredients for cinnamon oats in a bowl

    Combine all of the ingredients in a sealable jar or container with a lid.

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the oats to soften. Top with toppings or eat as is.

    Toppings

    Add some fresh or cooked fruit as a topping to change up the flavor of the cinnamon overnight oats.  I usually just stick to adding 1-2 tablespoons of raisins to the oats as they soak overnight per the recipe.  The dried fruit puffs up a little from soaking in the milk, and I just love the cinnamon-raisin flavor combination. 

    Topping ideas:

    • Add diced or cooked apple
    • Sliced bananas (I would add them the morning of so they don’t brown)
    • Chopped walnuts

    Tips

    • If you need the overnight oats to be gluten-free, make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.
    • The recipe is for one serving, but it can be adapted to make as many servings as you need.

    Storage

    Overnight oats sealed in an airtight container without fresh fruit can last about 5 days in the refrigerator.  With fresh fruit, they’ll keep for up to 3 days.
