2 cups gluten-free oats Shop
1.5 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey Shop
1 tsp ground cinnamon Shop
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
0.25 tsp salt
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened (for frosting swirl)

Instructions

1 In a large bowl or directly in your serving jars, combine the gluten-free oats, milk, and Greek yogurt. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully submerged and there are no dry clumps.
2 Add the maple syrup (or honey), ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and salt to the oat mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed and the mixture smells fragrant.
3 Cover the bowl or seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
4 Before serving, prepare the frosting swirl by whisking together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
5 Spoon or dollop the cream cheese frosting mixture over the top of the chilled overnight oats. You can swirl it in gently with a spoon or toothpick for a decorative effect. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful cinnamon roll experience.

Tips & Notes

Gluten-free oats vary by cut; any cut works in no-bake recipes, but gluten-free rolled oats hold their shape better when baked.
Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
Full-fat yogurt produces a richer result; reduced-fat works fine in most recipes.
