Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, kosher salt, and mini chocolate chips thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, maple syrup, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well using a spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully combined.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips or a spoonful of nut butter on top. Serve the oats chilled or warm briefly in the microwave if preferred.

  • Protein powder flavor can be adjusted to vanilla or unflavored based on taste.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or another liquid sweetener if desired.
