Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-cook breakfast combining oats, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and protein powder for a creamy, indulgent yet healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon (7g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (~30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to mix.
  2. Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, breaking up any lumps if necessary.
  3. Pour in ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk and add 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter. For easier mixing, warm the almond milk slightly before adding.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon maple syrup if using.
  5. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until the peanut butter is evenly distributed.
  6. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, stir the oats well. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Top with optional extras like sliced banana, dark chocolate chips, or crushed nuts.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats can become mushy. Warm almond milk slightly to help peanut butter blend better. Stir well before refrigerating to avoid clumps. Can be customized with different nut butters or protein powders. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Microwave briefly if you prefer warm oats.
