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)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/3 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 tbsp plain protein powder
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
How to make cinnamon raisin overnight oats
- Whisk the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup in a large bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, protein powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Divide the mixture among four jars or covered containers.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight so the oats and chia seeds can soften and absorb the liquid.
- 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.
