Description
A foolproof, high-protein breakfast that requires no cooking. These overnight oats are creamy, delicious, and customizable, making them perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (40g) Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Milk of Choice (e.g., almond, oat, or dairy)
- 1 tablespoon (10g) Chia Seeds
- 1 scoop (30g) Protein Powder (Vanilla or Chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons (32g) Peanut Butter
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- A tiny pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt to a mason jar or container.
- Shake the jar slightly to distribute the dry ingredients and prevent clumps.
- Pour in the milk, then add the peanut butter and honey.
- Stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Secure the lid and place the jar in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add a splash of milk if the texture is too thick.
- Top with optional toppings like banana slices, berries, or extra peanut butter and enjoy.
Notes
Do not use instant oats (they turn mushy) or steel-cut oats (they don’t soften enough). Stir well to avoid protein powder clumps. If using natural peanut butter, stir it well before measuring. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
