HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY CINNAMON ROLL OVERNIGHT OATS
First, grab your blender and 4 glass jars with tight fitting lids. I like to always store my overnight oatmeal in glass and not plastic, because plastic leeches into your healthy food and then when you eat it, the plastic can disrupt your hormone balance and gut health.
Add the cinnamon roll overnight oatmeal ingredients to your blender:
- 2 cups rolled (old fashioned oats)
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice (I like flax milk, cashew milk, and soy milk)
- ½ cup plain whole milk kefir or another ½ cup milk
- 5 pitted dates
- 2 teaspoons organic ground cinnamon
Blend until totally smooth, scrape down the sides of your blender if you need to. Then, divide the blended cinnamon roll oatmeal between 4 glass jars.
Set your jars aside and prepare the vanilla cream layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the healthy cinnamon roll vanilla cream layer:
1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons raw honey or pure maple syrup, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt.
Scoop the yogurt over the blended cinnamon oats.
Sprinkle with more cinnamon and store in your fridge up to 5 days!
Enjoy!

FAQ's
Frequently asked questions about my cinnamon roll overnight oatmeal recipe.
Is it bad to eat overnight oats every morning?
If you want a healthy breakfast that will keep you full, overnight oats are an excellent option! Overnight oats are rich in many nutrients like carbs, fat, protein, fiber, and more!
Is it OK to eat overnight oats at night?
It might sound a little weird, but overnight oats can definitely be eaten at night. This is especially true if you often wake up in the middle of the night hungry. It would be best to eat them 1-2 hours before bed so that they have started to digest before you go to sleep.
Can I eat overnight oats after 1 or 2 hours?
Yes! You can eat them right after making them. The only difference is that they won't be as creamy because the chia seeds and oats have not had time to soak as long. You can counteract this by adding a little more liquid and heating them in the microwave to encourage the oats to soak up more liquid.
How long can you store overnight oats for?
I like to make only 3 ahead of time. You can make 5 for each day of the work week, but don't forget about them! Chia seeds store really well when they are dry. But, once you mix them with any type of liquid they have a very short shelf life!
