In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1–2 tsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp chia seeds (if using).

Stir everything together until fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.

Pro Tip: Use a spoon or small whisk to make sure the cinnamon doesn’t clump—sprinkle it in slowly while stirring.

In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp cream cheese, 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, and 1–2 tsp maple syrup or powdered sugar.

Add a tiny splash of milk (start with 1 tsp) and stir until it becomes smooth and just pourable. The texture should be creamy, not watery.

Pro Tip: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature—cold cream cheese will make it hard to blend smoothly.

Spoon the oat mixture into your jar or container, filling it about halfway.

Add a teaspoon or so of the cream cheese swirl and lightly spread it over the oats.

Repeat with the remaining oats, then top with another swirl of the frosting.

Pro Tip: Use a butter knife or toothpick to gently swirl the frosting into the oats for that cinnamon roll “swirled” effect.

Seal the jar or cover your container with a lid or wrap.

Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, to let the oats soak and thicken.

The next morning, give your oats a quick stir if needed.

Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped pecans, banana slices, or a drizzle of maple syrup—whatever you’re craving.

Pro Tip: If you prefer warm oats, microwave the jar (if microwave-safe) for 30–60 seconds before adding toppings. Just stir well and watch the frosting melt into the oats.
