These Maple Cinnamon Overnight Oats are so easy to mix up in the evening to wake up to a healthy & delicious grab-and-go breakfast in the morning!
This recipe only requires 6 simple ingredients and about 5 minutes of hands-on prep time! The refrigerator does the rest of the work overnight while you are asleep! This recipe can be made completely gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
Overnight oats are the perfect breakfast for summer mornings when a hot breakfast just isn't what you want. Also great for an easy breakfast on a busy morning before work or school. Or anytime you would like to feel ahead of the game by having your breakfast made the night before! 🙌🏻 This recipe makes me feel like a super-efficient person and I'm sure you will feel the same! hahaha

This is a really nice flavor combination and something that I will be making on a regular basis.
I basically followed the recipe as written but added a 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese. I need extra protein combined with a whole grain to stay full until a sometimes late lunch break, and I don't really care for yogurt. Ricotta works really well and tastes great with the maple flavor!
Naomi Andres
What a great idea, Tammie, thank you for sharing! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe and appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind review!
Susan
The worst overnight oats I've ever had. Inedible.
Naomi Andres
That's unfortunate to hear, Susan! Perhaps your ingredients were gone bad if they ended up so terribly inedible. Well, not every recipe is everyone's cup of tea and clearly it wasn't yours so we will leave this recipe to be enjoyed by all the others who have commented on their favorable experience with it!
Rhi
Nice recipe, but wayyy too much cinnamon. I could have put in less than a quarter of a teaspoon. Half a teaspoon with one cup of oats.. I could feel it coating my tongue like the cinnamon challenge.
Stuart
Amazing! One question, what’s the nutritional info on these?
Cindy
Made tonight for my 15 month old breakfast tomorrow. I only used one Tbsp of syrup and tested it and the flavor is amazing 🤩 love the flavor combo. Excited for my girl to try it, she really enjoys overnight oats!
Naomi Andres
That is so wonderful to hear, Cindy! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

This is such a perfect flavour combination! It was a hit with my whole family, so I will definitely be making it again. I might use half milk and half plain yogurt next time to make the oats a bit thicker, but it was great as written too.
Naomi
Thanks, Casey!! That is a very good idea if you prefer thicker oatmeal!
Taryn
Loved this super easy breakfast recipe! I don't always feel like expending too much effort in the morning to make a healthy breakfast, so this was the perfect way to get a head-start on the day. I doubled the cinnamon (because why not? 😉), and it turned out sooo tasty! Definitely will be making this again!
Naomi
Thank you, Taryn! Great idea about doubling the cinnamon if you like lots of cinnamon flavour!
