Description

Delicious and nutritious Brownie Batter Overnight Oats combining rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa, and almond milk for a rich and creamy breakfast that’s ready in the morning. Perfect for a quick, satisfying start with the indulgent flavors of chocolate and the crunch of walnuts and chocolate chips.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 scoops (50 grams) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter (optional)

Toppings

  • 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or a jar, add the rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, sea salt, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the protein powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container with a lid tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. This resting period allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors to meld for a creamy texture.
  3. Stir Mixture: The next morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and stir the mixture well. The oats will have absorbed much of the milk, so add a splash of almond milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
  4. Serve and Add Toppings: Divide the overnight oats into two servings. Top each with chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and optionally a tablespoon of peanut butter for added creaminess and flavor.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately for a nutritious and flavorful breakfast that tastes like brownie batter but is nourishing and easy to prepare ahead.
