• Rolled oats – you want to make sure you’re using rolled oats, not instant oats. They are more suitable for overnight oats as they have more texture.
• Walnuts – are a delicious addition to this recipe and provide your body with some healthy fats.
• Maple syrup – used to make a delicious sweet and sticky glaze for the caramelized walnuts.
• Plant-based Greek yogurt – Adds extra protein and makes the Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats super rich and creamy.

• We highly recommend using unsweetened plant milk. You can use any type of plant milk, however we prefer using soy milk as it is high in protein in comparison to most other plant milks and because it has a neutral flavor profile.
• As already stated above, we recommend to use rolled oats, not instant oats.
• When caramelizing the walnuts, make sure you don’t take the caramelization too far. This will result in the walnuts tasting bitter and possibly even burnt. Thirty seconds up to a minute of caramelizing the walnuts with the maple syrup is always safe.

• Add in your fruit of choice – you can add fresh fruit such as berries, orange, apple or banana.
• Use other nuts – switch things up and use hazelnuts, pecans or almonds instead of walnuts.
