Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt for topping
1 teaspoon almond butter for topping
1 pinch ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl or mason jar, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth and fully combined.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the oats are thick and creamy.
4. Stir the oats before serving and add a splash of milk if you want a looser texture.
5. Top with the Greek yogurt, almond butter, and a light pinch of cinnamon.
6. Serve cold and enjoy.
Notes
Rolled oats give the best texture, while quick oats can turn too soft overnight.
For a sweeter cinnamon roll flavor, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
Keep toppings separate until serving if making multiple jars for meal prep.
