# Instructions:
01 -
In a jar or container, combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir briefly to distribute the dry ingredients evenly, preparing your base for a delicious breakfast.
02 -
Add 3/4 cup unsweetened plain almond milk, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp espresso powder (if using). Whisk well to combine and create the rich chocolate base for your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats.
03 -
Now, incorporate 1/4 cup chocolate whey protein powder, 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, and 1 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter. Stir thoroughly until no dry spots remain and the mixture begins to thicken, becoming velvety smooth.
04 -
Stir all ingredients vigorously until completely combined and smooth, resembling a thick brownie batter. This ensures every bite of your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats is perfectly flavored and lump-free.
05 -
Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid, creating the perfect creamy texture for your breakfast.
06 -
The next morning, give your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats a quick stir. Top with 1 tbsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired, before serving cold.
# Notes:
01 -
For a thicker consistency, reduce the almond milk by 1/4 cup or add an extra 1/2 tbsp of chia seeds. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk before serving.
02 -
Store prepared overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's perfect for meal prepping healthy breakfasts!
03 -
Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors (e.g., vanilla) or nut butters (e.g., almond butter) to customize your oats. Any plant-based milk can be used.
04 -
Boost your breakfast with extra toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter for added flavor and nutrients.
