Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar or light brown sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ – 1 ½ cups dairy free milk (unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins

  • 2 tbsp hemp hearts (optional)
  • 2 tbsp vegan vanilla protein powder (optional; omit sugar if sweetened)

Optional Cinnamon Swirl & Icing

  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup vanilla dairy free yogurt (e.g., Siggis Plant Based Vanilla Cinnamon Yogurt)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut sugar, and ground cinnamon. If using, add hemp hearts and vegan vanilla protein powder. This creates the flavorful base for your overnight oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the dairy free milk (start with 1 ¼ cups for thicker oats) and the vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 3-4 hours or ideally overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar (or brown sugar) and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl layer.
  5. Assemble Jars: If the oats are too thick, add ¼ to ½ cup extra dairy free milk to loosen the mixture. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the thickened oats into the bottom of a jar, sprinkle cinnamon sugar around the edges, and add another 1-2 tablespoons of oats. Repeat layering until the jar is full.
  6. Add Yogurt Topping: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the vanilla dairy free yogurt on top of the oats in each jar to mimic a cinnamon roll icing.
  7. Store and Serve: Keep the assembled jars refrigerated for up to 5 days. Enjoy chilled as a quick, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of the oats by varying the amount of dairy free milk.
  • If using a sweetened vanilla protein powder, omit the added sugar for balanced sweetness.
  • For a more indulgent cinnamon roll flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves along with the cinnamon.
  • This recipe is suitable for vegan and dairy-free diets and can be prepared ahead for convenience.
  • To vary texture and nutrition, try different dairy free milk types like almond, soy, or oat milk.
