A quick and easy overnight oats recipe featuring creamy almond butter and protein powder for a nutritious, filling breakfast that keeps you energized all morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop (~30g) protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine almond butter and almond milk in a mixing bowl or mason jar. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened (2-3 minutes).
  2. Add Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine (1 minute).
  3. Mix in rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, salt, and honey or maple syrup if using. Stir well until oats and chia seeds are evenly coated (2 minutes).
  4. Seal the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or extra almond butter if desired. Serve cold or warm with a quick microwave zap (1-2 minutes).

Notes

Mix almond butter with almond milk first to avoid clumps. Use unflavored or vanilla protein powder to avoid chalky taste. Adjust sweetness based on protein powder used. Let oats soak overnight for best texture. Can be prepared in larger batches and stored up to 3 days in the fridge. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt.
