At its core, overnight oats are a no-cook method of preparing oatmeal. By soaking oats in liquid overnight, you allow them to absorb the moisture and soften, resulting in a creamy and satisfying texture come morning. This method not only enhances the digestibility of oats but also allows for a host of flavor combinations, making them an ideal choice for busy mornings when you need something nutritious and delicious on the go.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

Toppings: Sliced bananas, walnuts, chia seeds, or any of your favorite fruits and nuts

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or spoon to stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring that all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

    In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until all of the oats are fully coated and absorbed by the liquid mixture.

        If you are using Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, gently fold it into the oat mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated.

          Evenly distribute the oat mixture into individual jars or containers, ensuring there is enough room to close them with lids without overflowing.

            Seal the containers tightly and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors, softening into a delightful creamy texture.

              When you're ready to enjoy your oats, remove them from the refrigerator and give the mixture a good stir. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of almond milk and mix it in until smooth.

                Top your delicious oats with your choice of toppings, such as freshly sliced bananas, walnuts, chia seeds, or a combination of any fruits and nuts that you love.

                  Serve and enjoy your nutritious and scrumptious Maple Vanilla Overnight Protein Oats cold, perfect for a quick and easy breakfast on the go!
