Ingredients
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 scoops (50 grams) protein powder, vanilla or chocolate
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
2 Tablespoons chocolate chips, preferably Lily’s dark chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 Tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, combine the oats, protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to ensure the protein powder dissolves and everything is mixed together evenly.
- Seal the container with a lid and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
- The next morning, stir the oats again. You may find that the oats have absorbed much of the liquid, so feel free to add a little more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Portion the oats into two bowls or jars and top with chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and peanut butter (if using).
- Enjoy your decadent brownie batter overnight oats!
