    What I love about overnight oats:

    1. You can eat them hot or cold
    2. They are so easy to put together and are so simple to serve for breakfast. You (and kids!) can just grab it out of the fridge and go!
    3. Oats help to keep you feeling fuller longer.
    4. Oats have a lot of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals.
    5. There are so many flavor options!

    I have a few other overnight oat recipes on my blog. Try these Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, or my Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats. Also, try my latest oats recipes - Maple Peach + Pecan Overnight Oats - they're so good too!

    How to Make Cinnamon Bun Overnight Oats

    This is the best part - they are so easy. I mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl - so the oats, cinnamon, raisins, salt and chia seeds. In a another smaller bowl I whisk together the cashew milk, yogurt, vanilla and brown sugar, until it's really smooth and the yogurt has been mixed in evenly.

    Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix together. Done with prep!

    At this point you can add the whole thing to a container with a lid (or just mix it in there to begin with) and then refrigerate overnight. From there, portion it out as you want to.

    Or portion it into individual jars with lids and refrigerate like that so you have one person servings ready to go.

    Eat hot or cold. I liked it both ways and I like some whipped cream on when they're cold - it feels really dessert like.

    Also, if you'd rather switch out the brown sugar for something like maple or honey, I'm sure it would work perfectly - just sweeten to your preference.

    Also, let's not talk about the raisins, ok? I get overruled in my house over raisins. When I make actual cinnamon buns, I make half with raisins and half without for me. My most popular cookie recipe is Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Anyone else dislike raisins out there?

      Hi Jacqueline,

      I loved this recipe! I'm an avid cinnamon over-user (according to everyone else in my family) so naturally I was drawn to this one...

      All the goodness of oatmeal with all the sweetness of a cinnamon bun. Yum!

      I would like to include this recipe in a post about my favourite oatmeal recipes, could I link to you? I would love to use a photo to capture the goodness you've crafted here.

      Okay, off to delve into the rest of your blog now! Have a great day,

      Lucie xo

        My new favorite overnight oats recipe, and since I opt to omit the raisins, adding a 1/4C of chopped walnuts has been a nice add.

      Hello,

      thank you, for the Recipe. 🙂

      I made that in a hot Version, as a Porridge an instead of Oats I used 5-Grain Flakes. I made a vegan Version and that was really delicious. 🙂

      Greetings,

      Yvonne

      Hi, are the chia seeds necessary in this recipe? I'm not a big fan of their texture.

        No, you can skip them if you don't like them. They do soak up quite a bit of liquid though so I would recommend cutting back the liquid by a little bit - maybe about 1/4 - 1/3 cup or so? If you try it, let me know how it works out 🙂
