Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (almond, cashew, or dairy milk)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips, protein powder, and a pinch of kosher salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is fully combined and a thick batter forms.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the oat mixture evenly into 4 jars or bowls. Cover them and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 3 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute for a cozy breakfast.
Notes
- For a vegan and dairy-free version, use plant-based milk such as almond or cashew milk, and opt for dairy-free chocolate chips.
- To make this recipe nut-free, substitute peanut or almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- This breakfast can be enjoyed cold directly from the fridge or warmed in the microwave for a comforting warm meal.
