Perfect for busy mornings, this recipe is easy to prepare and offers a deliciously creamy texture with a subtle sweetness.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup milk of choice
  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness as needed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder (optional, but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wet mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt, and protein powder until everything is well combined and smooth.
  2. Add oats and chia seeds: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds until thoroughly combined, ensuring the dry ingredients are evenly distributed within the wet mix.
  3. Divide and refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers, cover them securely, and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
  4. Serve: When ready to eat, top the oats with chopped apple or sliced banana and a drizzle of peanut butter if desired for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use any milk of your choice including dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk to suit dietary preferences.
  • The protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and can be omitted if preferred.
  • Adjust the maple syrup amount based on your desired sweetness or whether your protein powder is sweetened.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and ensure protein powder is nut-free.
