    Overnight oats require no cooking, can be prepared ahead and helps you save time in the morning. It's like oatmeal, only quicker! These healthy cinnamon overnight oats are made with no sugar, using raisins to keep the dish sweet.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Cinnamon raisin overnight oats require 5 ingredients. Porridge oats (old fashioned rolled oats are the best), cinnamon, raisins, Greek yogurt, and your choice of milk.

    🔪 Instructions

    Add all the ingredients to a bowl, masjon jar or container with a lid, and stir to combine. Place your container in the fridge, and leave it there overnight, for at least 6 hours.

    The oats will soak up the liquid, leaving them creamy and delicious. When you are ready to serve them the next day, simply give them a stir and transfer the porridge to a bowl.

    💡 TIP! Overnight oats can be enjoyed cold straight out of the fridge, or you can heat them up slightly in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. I eat mine cold in the summer and warm in the winter.

    🧂 Seasoning & add-ins

    We add raisins and cinnamon to these sugar free overnight oats. If you want to make them sweeter, you can add a bit of honey or maple syrup.

    There are also a bunch of other add-ins you can try! Add some walnuts, almond flakes, blueberries, vanilla extract, orange juice, or other flavors that you enjoy.

    💭 Top tips

    • Make these cinnamon overnight oats vegan by using a plant based milk and yogurt alternative. Oat milk is a great choice for this reicpe!
    • If the overnight oats are not as creamy as you'd like in the morning, you can add some extra Greek yogurt to thicken them.

    🍲 Leftovers

    Leftover cinnamon raisin overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. You can therefore prepare multiple servings for quick and easy breakfasts in the days to come.

    I do not recommend freezing leftovers, as the texture of the oats will change after thawing.
