Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup yogurt
Protein and Flavor Enhancers:
- 6 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Sweetener:
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, milk, maple syrup, yogurt, and mini chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly blend ingredients using a spoon or spatula, ensuring no protein powder clumps remain.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This process allows oats to absorb liquid and chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
- Remove from refrigerator and gently stir the chilled oats. Transfer to serving bowl and customize with optional toppings like extra chocolate chips, jam, nuts, or fresh berries to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize protein powder to match dietary needs like vegan, plant-based, or whey-based options depending on personal health goals.
- Adjust milk type for lactose-free, dairy-free, or lower-calorie alternatives such as almond, oat, or coconut milk without compromising texture.
- Swap maple syrup with sugar-free sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for low-carb or diabetic-friendly versions of the recipe.
- Prepare multiple batches in advance and store in individual mason jars for quick grab-and-go breakfast options throughout the week, saving time during busy mornings.
