Cinnamon roll overnight oats with yogurt taste like a glazed cinnamon roll and make a delicious oatmeal breakfast for one that takes no time at all! The breakfast jar is high in protein and fiber.
Add rolled oats to a strainer and pour water over them briefly. You want a quick rinse to remove the dust from the flakes.
Add all basic overnight oats ingredients to a jar, including the rinsed oats, and stir with a spoon to break up clumps.
½ cup rolled oats (40g), ½ cup dairy free milk (118ml), 2 tablespoon yogurt, ½ tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup
You can add in the cinnamon now or wait until after the oats have chilled or add them when you are ready to eat.
The next day, or when you intend to eat the oats, stir in the cinnamon and eat right away, or cover and store.
1 tablespoon cinnamon*

Notes
*Cinnamon choices. Cassia cinnamon tastes better and is found at most grocery stores, but Ceylon is healthier.
Seal the container to keep the oats from drying out.
Taste-test the oats. Before you add the cinnamon, taste the oats to be sure they are sweet enough for you and if not, add a bit more sweetener.
Once the oats have chilled, you may have to stir if layers have separated.
Overnight oats need to be chilled at least 2 hours.
Add a cinnamon bun glaze. Mix up 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of milk to create a glaze, then drizzle on top for a cinnabon-like breakfast.
