Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 banana chopped
  • 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 oats or steel cut oats for the next texture.
  • 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 a more intense chocolate flavor to your oats.
  • To make vegan overnight oats, use a plant-based milk like cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk and choose a whey-free, vegan protein powder.
