High-Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

  • Author: Natalia
  • Total Time: 6 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

A cheap, high-protein breakfast for one that tastes like dessert. This overnight oats recipe requires no cooking, just mix ingredients in a jar and refrigerate overnight for a creamy, satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, honey, or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 medium banana, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2–3 ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Add dry ingredients (oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder) to a 16-ounce mason jar and mix to distribute evenly.
  2. Pour in milk, peanut butter, sweetener, and cinnamon. Stir or shake to combine.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and shake the jar vigorously for 30 seconds to break up clumps and mix thoroughly.
  4. Refrigerate the jar for at least 2 hours, preferably 6-8 hours (overnight).
  5. In the morning, stir well. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
  6. Top with optional ingredients like dark chocolate chips, banana slices, or ice cubes before eating.

Notes

Do not use instant oats as they turn to mush; do not use steel-cut oats as they won’t soften overnight. If using chocolate protein powder, you may want to reduce the cocoa powder slightly. The oats will absorb liquid and thicken over time; add a splash of milk before eating if desired. This recipe can be scaled to make 3-4 jars for the week, storing them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
