Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (50 grams)
- 1 scoop peanut butter protein powder (30 grams, optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (add more for desired consistency)
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter
Optional Toppings
- Sliced banana
- Additional peanut butter
- Cacao nibs
- Extra cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, peanut butter protein powder (if using), chia seeds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, pinch of salt, peanut butter, and unsweetened almond milk to a medium-sized jar. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the peanut butter is well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Secure the lid on the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a thick and creamy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the jar from the fridge, give the oats a good stir, and eat directly from the jar or transfer into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as sliced banana, additional peanut butter, cacao nibs, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the almond milk quantity to get your preferred thickness of oats.
- Peanut butter protein powder is optional but enhances the peanut butter flavor and adds extra protein.
- Chia seeds add a nice texture and boost fiber content.
- This recipe is easily customizable with your favorite toppings or nuts.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
