Ingredients

  • 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)

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
