    Overnight Oats served in a mason jar topped with whipped cream.

    I love overnights oats! It is the simplest, easiest, most delicious and filling breakfast you could have. You can combine any ingredients you want to create amazing delicious flavors, put it together in just 5 minutes and leave it in the fridge overnight so that it's ready to eat the next morning when you wake up.

    This recipe combines all the flavors of classic french toast fused with oatmeal directly into a jar. It truly cannot get better than that!

    Plus, it is good for you, with added protein! If that is not a breakfast of champions I don't know what is!

    Ingredients

    • Oats
    • Vanilla
    • Chia Seeds
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • Maple Syrup
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Almond Milk
    • Vanilla protein powder (optional)
    • Whipped Cream (for the topping)
    Milk being poured into the mason jar with dry ingredients.

    How to make cinnamon overnight oats

    It's so easy to make this delicious breakfast the night before!

    • Add all ingredients to a mason jar and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    • Top with whipped cream and serve.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many days ahead can you make overnight oats?

    A jar of these cinnamon overnight oats will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Whenever I make these, I always make a batch so I don't have to think about breakfast for a few days!

    Can you make them vegan?

    Yes, it's super easy to make this breakfast totally plant based. Simply skip the whipped cream topping. In it's place, you can use coconut whipped cream if you like.

    Similarly, if you are not vegan, you can use honey in place of the maple syrup and these overnight oats can also be made with dairy milk, or any other plant based milk.

    What are the best oats to use?

    I like to use quick oats for my cinnamon overnight oats so they get nice and soft. You can use old-fashioned rolled oats for a slightly firmer texture. I avoid steel cut oats which can be too chewy.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • Oats are naturally gluten-free, but if you have an intolerance, be sure to use GF certified oats as they are often processed in the same factory as wheat.
    • Mix the ingredients together in the jar, so no dry oats are left.
    • Seal the jar before placing it in the fridge, wither with the lid or with some plastic wrap or foil.

    I’m a working mom, whose love for food led me to start this blog as a resource for other busy parents. I’m passionate about creating quick and easy versions of the recipes I grew up eating to share with busy parents who want to cook foods filled with Latin flavors that don’t take a ton of time to prepare.

    It is my mission to show you that you can make great flavorful dishes at home without spending the entire day in the kitchen.

      Is this 1 serving or 2? It seems like a lot for 1, but I'm not a morning eater but have been told I need to start.

        This is 1 serving, but if you are not a morning eater you can split into two servings and add a piece of fruit. Oatmeal can be very filling. 🙂 enjoy!
