Enhanced with optional cacao powder and chocolate chips for a delicious mocha twist, this easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a quick and filling start to your day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ cup cooled coffee or cold brew
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, to sweeten to your liking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free if desired
  • 1 scoop (4 tablespoons) protein powder of choice (e.g., unflavored collagen peptides)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Optional for Mocha Flavor

  • 2 to 3 teaspoons cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, cooled coffee or cold brew, pure maple syrup, and vanilla flavoring until well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and cacao powder (if using) until the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in one heaping tablespoon of the mini chocolate chips to distribute them throughout the mixture.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Once chilled and ready, divide the oats between two 12-ounce mason jars or bowls. Top with an extra dollop of Greek yogurt and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. For added richness, optionally drizzle with almond butter for healthy fats and extra protein.

Notes

  • For the maple syrup: start with 1 tablespoon, taste the oats, and add an additional tablespoon if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
  • Customize your overnight oats by using different protein powders or types of milk according to your preference.
  • These oats keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days, making them ideal for meal prep.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and select a vegan protein powder.
