Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

These Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats bring cozy bakery flavor into a no-cook, high-protein recipe that works just as well for busy mornings as it does for late-night meal prep. Creamy, lightly spiced, and finished with an optional (but highly encouraged) cinnamon “icing,” this is the kind of easy snack that doubles as a satisfying breakfast or healthy dessert!

The secret weapon here is Wellious Real Vanilla, a smooth almond + chickpea protein that blends effortlessly into oats without chalkiness. The result: cinnamon roll vibes with real staying power.
