Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, and pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping.
- Pour the almond milk into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth, consistent batter-like texture. Make sure no dry pockets remain in the mixture.
- Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate all flavors evenly throughout the oats.
- Transfer the mixture into two separate sealed containers or mason jars, ensuring equal distribution of the mixture between them.
- Cover the containers and place them in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften completely. Recommended chilling time is at least 6-8 hours for optimal texture.
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a small amount of additional almond milk to reach desired consistency.
- Optional: Top with additional protein powder, cocoa nibs, sliced almonds, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup before serving for extra flavor and texture.
Tips
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use a clean, low-sugar protein powder and unsweetened almond milk for the best flavor and nutritional profile.
- Prevent Clumping: Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly before adding liquid to ensure a smooth, even texture without protein powder or cocoa powder lumps.
- Customize Your Consistency: If you prefer a thicker or thinner texture, adjust almond milk quantity accordingly. Start with the recommended amount and add more if needed.
- Prep Ahead: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making them perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.
- Elevate Your Toppings: Experiment with different garnishes like chia seeds, fresh berries, dark chocolate chips, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to add variety and extra nutrition.
- Storage Tip: Always store in airtight containers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and optimal texture.
