Print Recipe

A simple creamy breakfast that fills you up and tastes like a treat, made the night before.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick-cooking)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, soy, oat, or cashew)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free high-protein yogurt)
  • 1 scoop (about 25–30 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries), plus extra for topping
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew), for layering or topping
  • 2–3 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds), for topping
  • 2–3 tbsp granola, for topping (optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, for topping (optional)
  • Extra milk, as needed in the morning to loosen the oats

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  2. Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Whisk well until no lumps remain.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of berries. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Divide the mixture into 2–3 jars, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Add 1 tbsp of nut butter to each jar on top and swirl if desired.
  6. Seal jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir the mixture to combine, adding milk as needed for consistency.
  8. Top with nuts, berries, granola, and coconut before serving.
  9. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Adjust sweetener to taste before chilling.
