# Instructions:
01 -
In a jar or container, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop (approx. 25g) vanilla protein powder, and 1 tbsp chia seeds. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed for your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats.
02 -
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until a smooth, thick brownie-like paste forms. This will be the rich core of your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats.
03 -
To the oat mixture, add 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt and 1 tbsp natural peanut butter. Stir vigorously until the yogurt and peanut butter are fully incorporated, creating an even creamier base for your overnight oats.
04 -
Spoon the prepared brownie batter mixture into the oat base. Gently swirl it through with a spoon or knife, creating beautiful ribbons of chocolate throughout. Avoid overmixing if you prefer distinct layers.
05 -
Cover the jar or container tightly with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and thicken. This chilling process is essential for the perfect High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats texture.
06 -
The next morning, remove your High Protein Creamy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats from the refrigerator. Top with 1 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt for an extra touch of decadence and flavor. Enjoy cold!
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegan version, ensure your protein powder is plant-based and use a dairy-free Greek yogurt alternative. The texture will remain wonderfully creamy.
02 -
These overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
03 -
Adjust the maple syrup to your sweetness preference. For an even richer chocolate flavor, you can add an extra 1/2 tbsp of cocoa powder to the brownie swirl.
04 -
If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
