Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)

Toppings (optional)

  • Chopped nuts
  • Dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix rolled oats, milk, protein powder, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and maple syrup if using. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add Greek yogurt: Stir in Greek yogurt if desired for extra creaminess and protein content, blending it evenly into the oats mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  4. Stir and adjust consistency: In the morning, take out the oats and stir well. Add additional milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  5. Add toppings and serve: Top your overnight oats with chopped nuts or dried fruit as desired. Serve chilled or warmed according to your preference.

Notes

  • Use any milk of your choice including almond, soy, or cow’s milk to suit dietary needs.
  • Optional toppings like nuts and dried fruit can be omitted or substituted to match allergies or preferences.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder, non-dairy milk, and skip Greek yogurt or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • If you want to increase sweetness, adjust the amount of maple syrup or molasses accordingly.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
