# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium-sized jar or airtight container, combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 tbsp chia seeds. Give them a quick stir to ensure they are evenly distributed, forming the essential base for your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats.
02 -
Next, pour in 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly with the oats and chia until everything is well incorporated, creating a smooth, creamy foundation for the batter.
03 -
Add 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. If using, include 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder for a deeper chocolate flavor in your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats.
04 -
Stir in 1 scoop (approx. 30g) chocolate protein powder until fully combined and no lumps remain. This is key for the "High Protein" aspect of your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats, ensuring a smooth, rich texture.
05 -
Securely cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and create the incredibly creamy texture for your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats.
06 -
The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If desired, top with 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips and drizzle with 1 tsp almond butter before serving. Enjoy your decadent and nutritious breakfast!
# Notes:
01 -
Consistency Adjustment: If your overnight oats are too thick in the morning, simply stir in an extra splash of almond milk until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
02 -
Protein Powder Choice: Different protein powders (whey vs. plant-based) can absorb liquid differently. You might need to slightly adjust the amount of almond milk based on your chosen protein.
03 -
Storage Tip: These High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
04 -
Topping Variations: Feel free to customize your toppings! Try a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
