Looking for an easy overnight oats recipe made with real, recognizable ingredients? These cinnamon raisin overnight oats take about five minutes to prep, require no cooking, and rest in the fridge while you sleep. That is breakfast doing you a favor.

Rolled oats and chia seeds provide fiber, while Greek yogurt, milk, and protein powder make these high-protein overnight oats more satisfying. For a clean-ingredient breakfast, check labels and choose plain Greek yogurt and protein powder with ingredient lists that fit your preferences—no food shaming, just informed choices.

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)

How to make cinnamon raisin overnight oats

  1. Whisk the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, protein powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Fold in the raisins.
  4. Divide the mixture among four jars or covered containers.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight so the oats and chia seeds can soften and absorb the liquid.
  6. Stir well before eating. If the oats are thicker than you like, loosen them with a splash of milk. Top with extra cinnamon, raisins, or maple syrup if desired.

Easy swaps and label-reading tips

  • Replace the raisins with chopped dates, dried cherries, or another dried fruit you enjoy.
  • Adjust the maple syrup to suit your taste. Some dried fruits contain added sugar, so check the label if that matters to you.
  • Use dairy or fortified plant-based milk. Nutrition varies by product, so compare labels for protein, added sugar, and ingredients.
  • Choose a protein powder you enjoy and review its ingredient list for sweeteners, flavors, or additives that fit your needs.
  • For gluten-free protein overnight oats, use rolled oats labeled certified gluten-free.

This Greek yogurt overnight oats recipe makes about four servings and can be refrigerated in covered containers for up to four days, making it a practical Sunday meal-prep option. Because protein content varies by yogurt, milk, and protein powder, check your product labels if you are tracking nutrition closely.
