Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for garnish)
- 2 Tablespoons granular monk fruit sweetener (or honey)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any other dairy or plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup espresso or brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (look for low or no sugar)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, sweetener, and salt until well mixed to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, cooled espresso, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes slightly thickened.
- Refrigerate: Pour the mixture into mason jars or meal prep containers, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Add yogurt topping: Just before serving, top each container with 1/3 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt to add creaminess and a protein boost. Optionally, dust additional cocoa powder on top for garnish and enhanced flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the oats cold straight from the fridge for a refreshing and satisfying tiramisu-inspired breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute monk fruit sweetener with honey or maple syrup to adjust sweetness to your preference.
- Use any plant-based or dairy milk depending on dietary needs or taste preferences.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the espresso quantity slightly but be mindful of added liquid.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
- Adding Greek yogurt just before serving helps maintain its texture and freshness.
