Description
A delightful twist on a classic dessert, these overnight oats combine luscious flavors and textures for a nutritious breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese (optional)
- Cinnamon, for topping
- Chocolate shavings, for topping
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your oats are rolled; quick oats won’t have the same texture when soaked overnight.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. If you want a touch of sweetness, add the maple syrup. Stir everything together until well combined.
- If you’re using mascarpone cheese, gently fold it into the mixture to give it a creamy texture that mimics the traditional tiramisu. This step is optional but highly recommended for a rich flavor.
- Transfer the mixture into a jar or an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the moisture, softening them and blending the flavors beautifully.
- In the morning, stir your oats to mix everything up. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and garnish with chocolate shavings for the perfect finishing touch before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
These oats can be enjoyed directly from the jar or in a bowl. Great for meal prep, they stay fresh for up to three days.
