Chocolate Overnight Oats
Description
The Chocolate Overnight Oats recipe features rolled oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Combined and refrigerated overnight, these ingredients meld to create a smooth, chocolaty base with a hint of peanut butter and natural sweetness from maple syrup. The oats absorb the liquid and soften without cooking, providing a creamy yet hearty texture. Optional toppings like fresh banana, berries, cacao nibs, or coconut flakes complement the oats with fresh, crunchy, or nutty accents.
This recipe is prepared simply by mixing all ingredients and allowing it to chill, making it a practical option for make-ahead breakfasts or healthy snacks. The protein and fiber content support sustained fullness. You can portion it into containers for grab-and-go convenience.
The recipe notes mention that peanut butter powder can be omitted or substituted with natural creamy peanut or almond butter. Using gluten-free oats works for gluten-sensitive individuals, ensuring broader accessibility. These small adaptations cater to personal preferences and dietary needs without altering the core technique.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 coop chocolate protein powder (I like clean simple eats or active stacks)

- 1 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Add oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cocoa powder and peanut butter powder to a bowl and mix to combine. Stir in maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Divide between two 8oz containers with a lid (I like these containers, or half pint mason jars work great) and refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days before eating.
- Enjoy plain, or top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, cacao nibs or coconut flakes.
Notes
- Peanut butter powder can be omitted or replaced with natural creamy peanut or almond butter for a different texture and flavor.
- Gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats can be used as a substitute to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
