Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional but nutritious)

1/4 cup raisins or chopped pecans (for added texture)

Cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade, for topping)

Additional cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt (if using), and chia seeds (if using). Stir well to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Fold in the raisins or chopped pecans, giving it a gentle mix so they distribute evenly throughout the oats.

      Cover the bowl or seal the mason jar with a lid, then refrigerate overnight (at least 6-8 hours) for the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.

        In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more of almond milk until you reach your desired creaminess.

          Serve the oatmeal into bowls and drizzle with cream cheese frosting on top. Optionally sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon over the frosting for extra flavor.

            Enjoy your delicious, cinnamon roll inspired breakfast right away!
