2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

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!
