Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, protein powder, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir thoroughly until the protein powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is evenly combined.
Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator to allow the oats to soak and soften overnight, approximately 8 hours.
Stir the Mixture: The following morning, remove the container from the fridge and stir the oats well. The oats will have absorbed much of the liquid, so add a splash more almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
Serve with Toppings: Portion the overnight oats into two serving containers or bowls. Top each portion with chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and a dollop of peanut butter if using. Enjoy immediately for a satisfying breakfast.

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can soak the oats for up to 12 hours.
Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or substitute with honey or agave nectar for variation.
Walnuts can be swapped with other nuts or seeds like almonds or chia seeds based on preference or dietary needs.
Use plant-based protein powder for a vegan-friendly version.
Optional peanut butter adds extra protein and healthy fats, but can be omitted for a lower calorie option.
