Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • 4 mason jars or airtight containers (12-16 oz each)
  • Whisk or spoon

Ingredients

Brownie Overnight Oats

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder (Dutch-process for deeper flavor)
  • 4 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • salt Pinch of
  • 2 cups milk of choice
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Walnuts or pecans
  • Cacao nibs
  • Peanut butter or almond butter drizzle

Instructions

Make the Brownie Overnight Oats

  • Add 2 cups old-fashioned oats, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, 4 scoops chocolate protein powder, 4 tablespoons chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Pour in 2 cups milk, 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 to 4 tablespoons agave or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir everything together really well until smooth and no dry pockets remain. Use a whisk to break up any clumps.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into 4 jars or airtight containers.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and fudgy.
  • Add your favorite toppings right before serving and enjoy!
    • Stir very thoroughly when mixing. Cocoa powder and protein powder tend to clump, and you don't want dry pockets in your oats.
    Use old-fashioned oats, not quick oats. Quick oats get too mushy overnight.

Notes

Storage: Keep in sealed jars or airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Add toppings right before eating.
