These cinnamon spice overnight oats make getting ready in the morning super fast and easy and they taste a lot like the boxed variety of oatmeal but with a better texture.

This recipe reminds me of my childhood. I ate a lot of boxed instant oatmeal growing up and one of my favorite flavors was cinnamon spice. It is also very simple to assemble in the morning and my husband loved it (he helped me taste test :).

I loved those boxed instant oatmeal packs but they aren’t that healthy for you. They are full of sugar and preservatives. I do have to admit they are REALLY easy though. Well, this overnight recipe is easy too and way better for you. The best part is that if you use the Basic Overnight Oats recipe I have a link to in the recipe box below these oats will astound you. Who wouldn’t like oatmeal with yogurt and chia seeds * added to it?

It’s really easy to make this recipe too. All you do is make the oatmeal recipe the night before which takes just a couple minutes then put it in the refrigerator overnight and let it sit. In the morning you’ll think magic happened! In the morning all you do is add the spices and maple syrup * and you’re good to go. Just like that the frig and some time did all the work while you were sleeping.

I think you’ll really like these oats, that is if you like cinnamon flavor and come to think about it, I don’t know anyone that doesn’t. Give them a try and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I would love to know if you try this recipe. Please comment below.
