Can’t you almost smell it through your screen?
That smell kills me when I’m walking through Terminal A in the Atlanta airport. It’s absolutely intoxicating… and all I can do not to stop and order a dozen cinnamon rolls.
I nearly attacked the man behind me last night… he brought one on the plane and didn’t offer a bite. Cruel.
The only thing that saved this man’s life is the fact that I’d had Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats for breakfast. Post-run.
Cinnamon Roll Extract was the discovery of a lifetime. I found the teeny bottle (seriously – this pic is true to size) in a cook’s supply store.
It is made by LorAnn Oils and is referred to as a “Super Strength.” If you use this, know that it’s VERY concentrated – 3-4x a regular extract.
I only needed to use a couple of drops to achieve that buttery cinnamon roll taste!
These oats pack a ton of protein and nutrients that will keep you full until lunch! They will also provide you energy as your brush up on wines of Italy… one more week!!!
Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats
- 1/4 C oatmeal
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Growing Naturals)
- 1/4 C Greek yogurt
- 1/2 C unsweetened almond milk
- 6-7 drops Vanilla NuNaturals Stevia
- 1/16 tsp cinnamon roll extract (a little goes a long way!)
In a small bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Place in fridge overnight. Remove in the morning, stir, and enjoy!
Note: These were great cold after a workout, but the same flavors would be fantastic in a warm oatmeal on a cool fall morning.

I haven’t tied to get oats through airport security yet… I wonder if they count as liquid?! Will test it out and report back. 🙂
What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Have you found any unique extracts that you love?
They sound delish! I haven’t made cinnamon rolls for ages but I love cinnamony oats!
I got my overnight oats through security back in June – I was so relieved!
Wish I could stay full on 1/4 cup of oats – I need at least 1/3 cup and a whole scoop of protein. Google-ing this extract now! 🙂
It’s all about the chia and yogurt additions with the powder and oats for me. That brought the whole breakfast to nearly 20g of protein!
AMAZING!!! Was it super expensive? I feel like all special extracts are expensive. I mean.. even Vanilla or Almond Extract is pricey!
No! Unbelievably, it was only $1-2. You can click through the link to see all of their flavors/prices!
The smell of those at the airport always makes me SO hungry! Haha.
Brilliant idea! It’s almost like getting the best of both worlds 🙂
Ummmm two words… Yeah Baby!! Seriously need to find this extract!
They are online here: https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super-strength-flavors.aspx (there’s a link to LorAnn in the post too!). 🙂
Another great recipe!!!
I know what you mean! I hate it when people have really awesome smelling stuff in the office, plane, or whatever. I’m always so jealous!
Yummy! I’m going to have to check out that flavoring oil! It sounds so tasty!
I love this!! Cinnamon’s just about my all time favorite spice. 🙂
Cinnamon oats?! I am sold…where do I find my spoon 😛
The smell of Cinnabon is SO enticing!!! I always crave it when I go to the mall. Between that, the pretzels, and the Starbucks…I’m bound to end up spending $ I don’t need to spend on food I’m really not hungry for. LOL
Cinnamon roll extract sounds unflippingbelievable!
I love the flavors of cinnamon rolls.. this recipe has me drooling big time over here!
HOLY YUM! This looks amazing! I used to work at the Mall of GA (right next to the food court). It was torture.
Oh my goodness the smell of Cinnabon in the airport is just MEAN! When I was younger, my mom and I would always split one when we went to the airport…. I haven’t had one in so long though. Darn those fear foods!
This looks great though, I am going to be on the lookout for that extract 🙂
Plans for the weekend include participating in a mud run on Sunday!
Good luck in the run! I love adventure races!
I can definitely smell this through my computer screen. Oh how I love cinnamon rolls, so I would be a big fan of these oats. 🙂
I have never heard of this stuff. I can’t wait to try to find some. Wouldn’t it be great in homemade granola?
Ohhhh… GREAT idea!
No fairsies! We don’t have Cinnabon or cinnamon roll extract in Australia. *pouts*
How very rude that man was!! 😉 And thanks, now I am DYING for a cinnamon roll or those cinnamon oats… I don’t think my plain old cinnamon powder will give the same results though… time for another online shop me thinks! 🙂
You could try using butter extract and adding more cinnamon… though your online food shopping skills are incredible. 🙂
There are just certain things you don’t take into tightly enclosed places (Curry, Burritos, B.O. – but I repeat myself) and Cinnabon is one of them. My husband, Skinny McSkinnison, insists upon getting one at every mall we enter. These oats look fantastic, though! Happy weekend! I’m celebrating my birfcake!
Agreed. And fish.
Happy birthday!!! 🙂
Cinnamon roll extract?! how come I’ve never heard of this before….totally out of the loop. Thanks for informing and allowing me to be one of the cool kids again (seriously). Enjoy your weekend!
Awww… you already ARE a cool kid!
Terminal A is my favorite terminal simply because I get to smell cinnabon! Or the international terminal because it means I’m going somewhere fun…
Anyway, I want these oats! Want to email me the store carried the cinnamon roll extract so I can go immediately? Thanks 🙂
Cook’s Warehouse. 🙂
Laura, you always come up with the greatest, health-bursting concoctions. Love it!!
Cinnamon roll extract?!?!?! Who knew? I love your creative oatmeal! (But you know I’m a sucker for some funked up oatmeal!) 😀
I’m going through a cinnamon phase at the moment, I’ve made (healthy) donuts, been adding cinnamon powder to my hot oats and to my morning coffee! This extract sounds delish and addictive, but I doubt they sell it here… :-/
Cinnamon roll extract?! Oh my gosh, that sounds so good! I used to hate cinnamon rolls when I was a kid (I was a weird child, hehe) but now I’ve been craving them like crazy. Combined with oats would be the perfect breakfast!
