Chocolate peanut butter protein overnight oats

Tastes like dessert for breakfast!

Overnight oats are a great, quick breakfast for when you want something nutritious and filling but do not have a lot of time in the morning. This recipe is high in protein and great for busy days or post work-out snacks.

I use 1 scoop of protein powder, which is 1/2 serving for the protein powder I use, because I find it too sweet otherwise. You may have to play around with how much you use according to your protein powder and how sweet you want your oats. One scoop for 2 servings creates a less sweet breakfast, and the peanut butter and chia seeds add additional protein.

Ingredients:

100 g (1 cup) gluten free instant oats

300 ml (1 1/4 cups) hazelnut or other plant based milk

1 tsp chia seeds

1 scoop chocolate protein powder (1/2 serving)

2 tbsp peanut butter (optional)

2 bananas (optional)

Method:

1. Stir together oats, milk, chia seeds, and protein powder in a bowl

2. Transfer to air tight container and store overnight, or for at least 4 hours

3. Serve cold with a tablespoon of melted peanut butter on top and sliced banana

Serves 2
