Instructions

Add the steel cut oats, protein powder, chia seeds (if using), ground cinnamon and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and stir well until everything is combined.
Pour in the oat milk (or non-dairy milk of choice) and stir well. If you’re adding a sweetener or nut butter to the oatmeal, do so now as well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, ideally overnight.
Give the oats a good stir the next morning just before serving. Pour desired amount into a bowl and top with fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, almond butter, a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup, etc.
Note: As an alternative, you can add everything into a large jar, seal it up with the lid, then shake well until everything is combined. I often take this approach.

Notes

*If you aren’t using chia seeds, you can reduce the amount of liquid you use to 1 ⅔ cups. You can also replace the chia seeds with sesame seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can portion the oatmeal out into small mason jars or individual glass containers for grab and go breakfast. If you're taking this route as a meal prep approach, I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe.
