Cannoli Overnight Oats (half-hour, gluten-free, soy-free)

The dessert of your dreams in breakfast overnight oats form!! Cannoli Overnight Oats with creamy vanilla and orange scented oats, chocolate chips and topped with crunchy cinnamon sugar tortilla chips!

Stop the presses and make these Cannoli overnight oats! I like cannolis once I visit visit Italian restaurants. The creamy filling dotted with chocolate chips or candied orange peel in a crisp shell…what’s not to love? I exploit the identical concept so as to add those flavors and textures to those cannoli overnight oats. 

We now have a base of the creamy oat filling with a bit of little bit of vanilla and orange zest. We add chocolate chips to the mixture after which top this with fresh oranges. You can too add candied orange peel as a topping together with pistachios. 

However the show stopping piece of those cannoli overnight oats is the crisp, cinnamon sugar tortilla on a skillet. It acts because the cannoli shell to make it super crispy. Crumble that on top and serve it. Or you possibly can serve the tortillas on the side.

For the cream, which has a cheesy flavor profile, we use some nondairy yogurt. You can too add in vegan cream cheese as a substitute.
