Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
Spices and Sweeteners:
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Optional Toppings:
- Cream cheese glaze
- Sliced bananas

Instructions
- In a jar or container, blend oats, milk, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure even coating and consistent texture.
- Cover container with lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight, allowing oats to absorb liquid and soften completely.
- After chilling, gently stir oats to redistribute any settled ingredients and create uniform consistency. This prevents separation and ensures balanced flavor in each spoonful.
- Personalize your oats with creative toppings like cream cheese glaze, chopped nuts, fresh banana slices, or vanilla yogurt. Each addition enhances visual appeal and taste profile.
- For cream cheese glaze, combine softened cream cheese, milk, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and slightly runny. Drizzle generously over prepared overnight oats to elevate breakfast experience.
- Serve chilled, enjoying the rich cinnamon roll-inspired flavors and creamy texture. Best consumed within 24 hours of preparation for optimal taste and consistency.
Notes
- Soak oats completely in liquid to ensure soft, creamy texture without dry spots.
- Create vegan version by substituting cream cheese glaze with cashew cream or dairy-free yogurt alternatives.
- Prepare toppings night before to save morning preparation time and add extra convenience.
