I received free samples of Naked Oats by Naked Nutrition, which is mentioned in this post. I was compensated for this blog post, but my views on this product are my own.

What You'll Need for These Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats:

Ingredients:

  • Rolled Oats (see below if using protein oats)
  • Milk of your choice
  • Maple Syrup
  • Cinnamon
  • Chia Seeds
  • Protein Powder**
  • Greek Yogurt

If you use protein oats, such as the product I used, Naked Oats, you will only need the oats, milk, and the optional toppings of cinnamon and yogurt to make this recipe! If you prefer thicker overnight oats, add 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to the oats mixture before refrigerating. These protein oats are delicious and require no addition of sweeteners or spices! Two scoops provide 20 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber!

**Using regular rolled oats for this high protein overnight oats recipe, I use Naked Nutrition Protein Powder with pea protein. For every scoop of protein powder, add an additional ¼ cup of milk.

Equipment:

  • Mason Jar or Airtight container
  • Mixing Bowl

How to Make Protein Overnight Oats:

These cinnamon roll overnight oats are so simple and easy! In the first step, whisk together the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, and protein powder. Store the oats mixture in an airtight container, such as a mason jar in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. Top with yogurt and cinnamon if desired.

If you are using the protein oats by Naked Nutrition in cinnamon roll flavor, whisk together 3 scoops (about 180cc) of the protein oats with 8 ounces of milk. Store for at least 5 hours or overnight. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt after soaking if you prefer thicker oats. Top with the yogurt and cinnamon if desired.

Variations of Protein Overnight Oats:

These Naked Oats protein oats are not vegan, however they are gluten-free!

If you prefer to try the non-protein oats version, use maple syrup and dairy-free milk and yogurt to make it vegan.

For Gluten-Free cinnamon roll overnight oats, use certified gluten-free oats.

If you are using a protein powder, adjust the consistency as needed. Some versions, such as non-dairy versions come out to a thinner consistency. Add additional yogurt or oats if needed.

Notes

  1. If you are using the protein oats by Naked Oats in Cinnamon Roll Flavor then only combine the protein oats and milk, as mentioned in the instructions, and top with the yogurt and cinnamon.
  2. For vegan alternatives, use non-dairy milk, yogurt, and maple syrup instead of honey for the non-protein oats version.  Naked Oats in Cinnamon Roll is Gluten-free, yet not vegan.
