Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (or to taste)
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings:

  • Crushed sugar-free cookies or graham crackers
  • Sprinkles (for a festive touch)
  • Sliced almonds
  • A dollop of whipped cream or extra yogurt

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond extract, maple syrup, chia seeds, and salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the protein powder is fully incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight:
    • Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
  3. Serve:
    • In the morning, give the oats a stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
    • Top with crushed cookies, sprinkles, or your favorite toppings for a sugar cookie-inspired breakfast.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt, milk, and a vegan protein powder.
  • To make it even creamier, add 1 tablespoon of cashew or almond butter to the mix.
  • This recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
