Grain-free Overnight "Oats"
Description
The base of this grain-free breakfast involves blending hemp seeds, coconut flour, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and non-dairy milk such as almond or coconut milk. After stirring the ingredients well, the mixture is refrigerated overnight, during which time chia seeds and coconut flour absorb liquid and thicken to a spoonable consistency similar to traditional overnight oats but without any grains.
The texture is creamy and slightly chewy from the chia seeds and hemp, while protein powder adds body and flavor. Cinnamon is sprinkled on top for spice, and toppings like fresh berries, cacao nibs, coconut, or almond butter can be added just before serving to add freshness and complementary tastes.
The recipe works well for those seeking a breakfast with a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats without gluten or grains. It can be adjusted easily by varying the type of protein powder or milk used.
Using canned full-fat coconut milk produces a thicker consistency, but other milk types also work depending on preference.
