Servings: 1
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl (minus chocolate chips) and mix well. Transfer to a mason jar and seal tightly. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
Top with chocolate chips if desired just before serving.
- Leave a little room in the overnight oat jars so the oats have some space to expand overnight.
- Use rolled oats instead of quick-cook oats or steel cut oats.
- If the oats get too thick overnight, add a little additional milk before eating.
- Try this recipe with chocolate milk or a sprinkle of chocolate chips for more intense chocolate flavor to your oats.
- To make vegan overnight oats, use a plant-based milk like oat milk or soy milk and a whey-free, vegan protein powder.
