Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • Optional: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • Optional toppings: chocolate chips sliced banana, chopped nuts, granola

Method
 

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and maple syrup (or honey). Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are combined.
  2. Add the creamy peanut butter and milk to the jar. If using, add the chocolate protein powder now as well. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and there are no clumps of peanut butter or cocoa powder. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the jar.
  3. Cover the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and become soft and creamy.
  4. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more milk until it reaches your desired creaminess. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Add your favorite toppings, such as chocolate chips, sliced banana, chopped nuts, or granola, and enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast!

Notes

For best results, prepare these overnight oats the night before. You can adjust the sweetness and consistency to your liking. Feel free to experiment with different nut butters or milk alternatives. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
