A breakfast that tastes like dessert AND meets your protein goals.
More than perhaps any other breakfast, cinnamon rolls make me incredibly nostalgic because I grew up baking them with my Grandma Dorothy in her kitchen.
Part of what makes cinnamon rolls special is that they take time. They’re also more indulgent, so for most of us, cinnamon rolls a special occasion situation.
Enter this cinnamon roll protein oatmeal. It has the same cozy flavor as the rolls we know and love, but it packs 22g protein per serving AND takes minutes to pull together.
A cinnamon roll experience so fast and healthy you can enjoy it any day you please? That’s my kind of way to start the day!
This is my favorite protein powder at the moment, and I love these cute jars for storing the overnight oats.
Key Ingredients
You’ll find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below, but here are some notes to keep in mind.
- Old-Fashioned Oats. AKA rolled oats. Don’t try to use steel-cut!
- Vanilla Protein Powder. You could use plain and then add some extra sweetener and vanilla if needed, but don’t substitute chocolate or other flavors of protein powder—they’ll overwhelm the cinnamon flavor!
- Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt. A protein powerhouse!
- Chia Seeds. Ground flax or hemp hearts would also work.
- Maple Syrup. Feel free to adjust the amount to your liking. The amount needed will depend on the sweetness of your protein powder.
- Ground Cinnamon. For that cinnamon roll flavor!
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Protein Overnight Oats
