Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon mini dark chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a sealable glass jar, mix together rolled oats, chocolate whey protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chia seeds to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in unsweetened almond milk, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract over the dry mixture to begin forming the creamy base.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir the mixture well or seal the container tightly and shake vigorously until the protein powder and cocoa powder are completely dissolved without any lumps, creating a smooth batter consistency.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold mini dark chocolate chips into the mixture, distributing them evenly without melting.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar with its lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soak and flavors to meld for optimal texture and taste.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the oats to combine; add a splash of additional almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired, then enjoy your creamy, protein-packed brownie batter overnight oats.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and use a plant-based protein powder.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity depending on preferred sweetness level or use a sugar-free sweetener for lower sugar content.
- Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats as they may become too mushy.
- Chilling overnight is crucial for oats to absorb liquids and soften properly.
- Adding extra almond milk before serving allows you to customize the consistency to your liking.
