Description
Creamy brownie batter style overnight oats with rich chocolate flavor, blended oats for a smooth texture, and a balanced protein boost for a satisfying make ahead breakfast.
Ingredients
1/2 cup certified gluten free quick oats
1 tsp chia seeds
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 to 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
1 tsp alcohol free vanilla flavor (Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor or Simply Organic Vanilla Flavor)
Instructions
1. Blend the oats in a high speed blender until they become a fine flour.
2. Transfer the blended oats to a jar or container.
3. Add chia seeds, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and vanilla flavor.
4. Pour in the almond milk and stir until everything is well combined.
5. Mix in the mini chocolate chips.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
7. Stir before eating and add more almond milk if you want a softer texture.
Notes
Plant based protein powders absorb more liquid so you may need extra almond milk in the morning.
If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of milk and stir.
If the texture is too thin, add a spoonful of blended oats to thicken it.
Choose cocoa powder based on your preferred chocolate intensity.
The oats keep well for up to three days when stored in an airtight container.
