Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
2. Pour in the milk, then add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully blended.
3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping and help the chia seeds distribute evenly.
4. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, until thick and creamy.
5. Stir the oats before serving. Add a small splash of milk if you want a looser texture.
6. Top with mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts, then serve cold.
Notes
Do not skip the second stir before chilling, because it helps prevent dry pockets of cocoa powder and clumps of chia seeds, giving the oats a smoother final texture.
