Description

Creamy, rich, and packed with protein, these peanut butter–chocolate overnight oats are a perfect grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like dessert but fuels your day with wholesome ingredients.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 12 tsp honey or maple syrup

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder until evenly blended.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, then add the peanut butter and your choice of honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to let the oats soak and soften.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Before eating, sprinkle the optional chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor. Enjoy chilled for a creamy, protein-packed breakfast.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
  • For extra creaminess and protein, stir in a dollop of Greek yogurt before refrigerating.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter or any nut/seed butter of your choice.
