Notes
- Use rolled oats, not instant oats, for the best texture and baking results.
- If you prefer a sweeter dish, add a little more maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top before baking.
- Make sure to use a vanilla-flavored protein powder to enhance the cinnamon roll flavor.
- This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat before serving.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
