- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 serving protein powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup strawberries frozen
Toppings
- 1/4 cup strawberries fresh
- 1 tablespoon peanuts
In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds.
Add the maple syrup and peanut butter to the oats and chia mixture. You can adjust the amount of peanut butter based on your preference.
Next, add the protein powder to the jar. Make sure to use your preferred protein powder and adjust the quantity according to the serving size.
Pour in the milk of your choice.
Add the frozen strawberries to the mixture. You can chop them into smaller pieces if desired.
Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.
In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, you can add more milk to achieve your desired texture.
Serve the overnight oats in a bowl or enjoy them directly from the jar.
Top with fresh strawberries and peanuts for added flavor and texture.
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other toppings such as sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of additional peanut butter.
To warm overnight oats, you have a few options:
- Microwave method:
- Transfer the overnight oats from the refrigerator into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat the oats in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Check the temperature and continue microwaving in 30-second increments until the oats reach your desired warmth.
- Stovetop method:
- Pour the overnight oats into a small saucepan.
- Heat the oats over low to medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and ensure even heating. You may need to add a splash of milk to thin the consistency.
- Warm the oats for 3-5 minutes or until they reach the desired temperature.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
