Description
A quick and nutritious breakfast that tastes like a cinnamon roll but is made with overnight oats for convenience.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 2 tsp Maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or any plant milk)
- 3/8 cup Yogurt (about 6 tbsp; Greek yogurt for more protein and creaminess)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chia seeds. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
- Pour in the milk and add the maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is uniform and the protein powder is moistened.
- Add the vanilla and then fold in the yogurt until the oats look smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more maple syrup if desired.
- Cover the bowl (or divide into jars) and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If it’s too thick, loosen with a splash of milk. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy cold, or warm gently for 20–30 seconds in the microwave.
Notes
Rolled oats yield the best texture; if using quick oats, they will be softer. For very fine protein powders, you may need slightly more liquid.
