Cinnamon roll flavored overnight oats you can mix in a hurry, chill overnight, and grab on your way out the door! Perfect for cinnamon roll lovers with busy mornings!
Here’s the thing about me and oatmeal. I never liked it growing up, mostly because I thought it looked like a big bowl of hot mush. I could never get past the idea of Little Miss Muffett on her tuffett with a bowl of mush and before you know it oatmeal was inextricably linked to spiders in my mind and it became inedible.
Luckily I grew up a little, learned to kill my own spiders, and started making some really amazing oatmeal recipes. Ones that don’t taste like mush, but rather like dessert in a form that is entirely acceptable for breakfast. I’ll take a cinnamon roll any way I can get it – and that definitely goes for an oatmeal version. I love overnight oats because they only take a couple minutes to throw together before you go to bed, and they are ready to go when you’re running out the door in the morning. (If you’re anything like me and have trouble limiting the number of times you hit the snooze button, you could use a good no-fuss breakfast go-to.) And if you haven’t tried cold oats before, it’s about time you gave it a shot – starting with these cinnamon roll overnight oats!

Gosh Tiffany, only YOU can make overnight oats look this good! What a great flavor! I can’t wait to try these out 🙂 Pinned!
Ha! Overnight Oats are hard!! Took me a million shots but finally got a few I liked!!! Thanks Chelsea! 🙂
I’m with you I never cared for oatmeal much growing up either, I think it was because it was mushy and blah looking. Glad I grew out of that because I’m loving these cinnamon roll overnight oats, cinnamon roll anything is a win in my book!
Are those adorable little cinnamon rolls included in the recipe? 🙂 I sill haven’t gotten over spiders, but I definitely love my oatmeal! What a fantastic flavor choice and those swirls of cinnamon are just awesome!
I love overnight oatmeal! Made this last night for today. Truly Amazing!! I only added 1 tbsp of the powered sugar to the cream cheese. It was perfect!
Thanks for the recipe!

When do u add the cinnamon
Hi Kon – sorry about the confusion, the cinnamon goes in with the rest of the ingredients before chilling overnight – I’ve updated the recipe to make that more clear! 🙂
This looks delicious! Would chilling it for more than 8 hours be bad??
Nope! I’ve chilled mine up to 3 days and still loved it!
