I have a friend, Megan, who asked me like a year ago to come up with a delish Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats recipe and I am a total failure as a friend.
I mean, seriously, a year? I suck.
But it could also be because my subconscious was waiting for this perfect ingredient to come along and be all like USE ME! And I said OK!
Breakfast is served! Or dessert! Or both!
Fo realz, I think I am in love. I always worried that I couldn’t be able to get the flavors down without incorporating a ton of junk, but now I’ve got flavor and nutrition on my side.
So, can I talk about how much I love OLLY? It’s gluten free, vegan, and made from whole food sources. You can definitely feed good about that. The Velvet Vanilla has such a smooth flavor, you kind of forget how good it is for you, which is a win-win, especially when trying to feed chicken nugget hungry children.
To really keep these cinnamon roll overnight oats delicious, I incorporated two heaping scoops of OLLY’s Vanilla Nourishing Smoothie Protein Powder, some cream cheese, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and vanilla almond milk.
The next morning, I swirled in a small amount of cinnamon roll frosting, to really get that taste right, and man did it ever deliver.
Seriously, I almost didn’t share. I wanted it all for meeeeeeeeeee.
But then the kids got angry and one started crying and I felt like a bad mom cause I was totally kidding so I had to give them back.
It was a rough five seconds, I’ll tell ya what.
And because I love you all, I thought I would let you in on an awesome giveaway OLLY is doing for you guys!

I cracked up at your line, “I suck” — you don’t — it took me 4 months to make the veggie burgers my daughter was begging me for! This sounds like a real treat for breakfast!

A Cinnamon Roll flavored easy and healthy breakfast? HEAVEN!

This sounds delicious – and what a treat to wake up and have breakfast all ready! No more scrambling or running out of time and grabbing something unhealthy just so you don’t pass out from hunger before lunchtime rolls around!
