Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 Tablespoons peanut butter powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (300g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh berries
  • Sliced bananas
  • Cacao nibs
  • Unsweetened flaked coconut

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and peanut butter powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the maple syrup, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and has a uniform chocolatey appearance.
  3. Portion and Refrigerate: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two 8-ounce containers with lids or half-pint mason jars. Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight or up to five days to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy as is or add toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, cacao nibs, or unsweetened flaked coconut for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can get mushy.
  • Peanut butter powder adds rich flavor with less fat than traditional peanut butter.
  • This recipe can be customized with your favorite plant-based milk or sweeteners.
  • Overnight oats can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days for meal prep convenience.
  • Add toppings just before eating to maintain their freshness and crunch.
