A creamy, indulgent yet wholesome overnight oats recipe packed with protein, combining chocolate and peanut butter for a quick and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural or creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon (5g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (~30g) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate whey protein, or pea protein for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place ½ cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds into a jar or bowl.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 scoop protein powder. Whisk or stir well to distribute evenly.
  3. Add ½ cup milk and ¼ cup Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons peanut butter and swirl through the mixture.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined.
  6. Seal the container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.

Notes

Do not overdo protein powder to avoid chalky texture. Mix dry ingredients first to prevent lumps. Chia seeds thicken the oats and add fiber and omega-3s. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Warm peanut butter slightly if it clumps. Microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm before eating if desired.
