I love overnight oats! It is the simplest, easiest, most delicious, and most filling breakfast you could have.

Frequently Asked Questions
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!
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.
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.

Jennifer says
Absolutely my go-to every day! Thank you for sharing! I add roasted almonds and it’s amazing.
Zach says
Do you put 1tsp of vanilla extract into the jar with everything else or is it a different type of vanilla? I’ve never used vanilla extract without cooking it before.
My Dominican Kitchen says
Yes, it’s regular vanilla extract and you add it right into the jar with everything else.
Even though it’s often used in baking, it works really nicely in no-cook recipes like overnight oats and adds a subtle sweetness. Hope you enjoy it!

You can make it up to 3–4 days ahead and keep it in the fridge. It actually gets even better as it sits and the flavors develop 😊
