Maple and Brown Sugar Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla works best)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- In a mason jar or bowl, mix the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and chia seeds (if using).
- Add the milk, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Stir well until fully combined.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).

Tips for Success
- Protein Powder: If your protein powder is very sweet, you may want to reduce the maple syrup or omit the brown sugar. For unflavored protein powder, adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Chia Seeds: These are optional but highly recommended! They add a boost of nutrition and help thicken the oats.
- Texture Preferences: If you like your oats thicker, use less almond milk. For a thinner consistency, add more milk before serving.
