Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
  • 1 scoop (approximately 30g) chocolate vegan protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, or your preferred choice) or to taste
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or cashew)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar or container with a lid
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, chocolate vegan protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the protein powder and cocoa are evenly distributed, preventing clumps in your final mixture. This initial mixing is crucial for a smooth and consistent texture.

  2. Pour in the unsweetened plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener. If you prefer a less sweet breakfast, you can start with a smaller amount of sweetener and adjust it in the morning after tasting. Stir everything together vigorously until all the dry ingredients are well incorporated into the liquid. Make sure there are no pockets of dry oats or cocoa powder at the bottom of the container.

  3. Continue to stir the mixture for at least one minute. This step is essential for ensuring the chia seeds can begin to absorb liquid and that the protein powder and cocoa powder fully dissolve. A well-mixed base will lead to a creamy and lump-free overnight oat consistency.
  4. Securely place the lid on your jar or container. Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats to soften, the chia seeds to gel, and the flavors to meld together, creating that signature thick and creamy overnight oat texture.
  5. In the morning, remove the High Protein Brownie Batter Overnight Oats from the refrigerator. Give it a good stir. If the mixture appears too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency. Spoon it into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.
