BROWNIE BATTER OVERNIGHT PROTEIN OATS

 Who wants brownie batter for breakfast? I probably didn’t need to ask, did I? Prep these thick brownie batter overnight protein oats the night before and you’ll be waking up to a bowl of brownie batter in the morning! It may seem like dessert but who says you can’t eat dessert for breakfast?!

HOW I MAKE OVERNIGHT OATS

To make my overnight oats, I measure and add my dry ingredients to a small jar then top it off with unsweetened almond milk. I find that’s usually just the right amount of milk to reach the consistency I like. I like my overnight oats really thick so I use about 1/2-3/4 cup of almond milk depending on what else I added. You can up to 1 or even 1.5 cups of milk if you like more of a porridge consistency.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup (50 g) rolled oats
• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 serving (44 g) Vega Performance Protein in chocolate or vanilla (or any other pea protein)
• 2 tbsp (14 g) cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
• 1 packet stevia or stevia drops, to taste (optional for added sweetness)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

• Add all ingredients to a glass container or bowl and mix well with a spoon. Make sure everything is mixed in and there are no dry clumps.
• Cover and place in the fridge overnight.
