Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup protein powder (vegan)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Fresh fruits for topping
- Nuts or seeds for topping
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and vegan protein powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Pour the almond milk into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping. Ensure all dry ingredients are fully incorporated and moistened.
- Add maple syrup to the mixture and stir gently to create a smooth, consistent texture. The syrup will provide a subtle sweetness to the oats.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, ensuring a tight seal to prevent moisture loss and contamination.
- Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak and soften overnight, typically 6-8 hours. This process helps break down the oats and enhance nutrient absorption.
- In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator and give them a gentle stir to redistribute ingredients.
- Transfer the oats into serving bowls and garnish with fresh fruits like berries, sliced bananas, or chopped apples.
- Sprinkle additional nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds on top for extra crunch and nutritional value.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your protein-rich, nutrient-dense vegan breakfast.
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your liking or add a splash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.
- Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh fruits like berries, bananas, or apples not only add flavor but also provide additional nutrients. Nuts and seeds will add a satisfying crunch and healthy fats.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare multiple servings at once! These overnight oats can last in the fridge for up to three days, making them a perfect grab-and-go breakfast option for busy weeks.
- Try Different Milk Alternatives: While almond milk is a great base, don’t hesitate to experiment with other plant-based milks like oat, soy, or coconut milk for a unique flavor profile.
- Add a Flavor Twist: Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry mixture for a warm, cozy flavor that complements the oats beautifully.
- Soak Longer for Creamier Oats: If you have the time, let your oats soak for longer than 6-8 hours—up to 12 hours for an even creamier texture.
- Mix It Up: For a fun twist, try adding a spoonful of nut butter or cocoa powder to the mixture before soaking for a chocolatey or nutty flavor.With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the art of overnight oats and enjoying a delicious, protein-packed breakfast every day!
