Creamy High Protein Overnight Oats Recipe


  • Author: Jennie Graham
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

These high protein overnight oats pack over 30g of protein in a creamy, dessert-like breakfast that takes just 5 minutes to prep. Wake up to a nutritious meal that keeps you full all morning.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (30g) protein powder
  • ½ tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¼ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats, protein powder, and chia seeds in your container. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumping.
  2. Pour in the milk, yogurt, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined, making sure to stir up any chunks of protein powder stuck on the bottom.
  3. Cover with a lid and place into the fridge overnight or for at least 5 hours to allow the oats to soften.
  4. Before eating, add extra toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or nut butter for more flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use vanilla or chocolate protein powder for best flavor – unflavored can taste bland
  • Let oats sit for 10 minutes after mixing before refrigerating for even absorption
  • Prepare multiple jars at once for meal prep – they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days
  • Can be enjoyed cold or warmed in microwave for 30-60 seconds
