Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats - Dairy Free!

Let’s be real, us mom’s are BUSY, and if your home is anything like mine, the mornings are crazy. With a baby, I needed something that was so quick and ready-to-go so I could eat while wearing the baby, playing, or driving - truly whatever the day was going to throw at me. BUT, I also needed something intentional- I am maintaining a supply of breastmilk to feed my baby, I’m working out so need something to fuel workouts and recovery. That’s how I developed my overnight oats recipe below.

Now, this may come as a shock but I actually never liked oatmeal or overnight oats. Something about a cold breakfast just didn’t feel right to me as an eggs girlie. But, when you don’t really have time to cook every morning, you need to find what works so you’re not snacking on cookies in the pantry just to get something in (guilty). I can honestly say, this recipe has absolutely changed the game for me in the mornings!

These overnight oats pack a solid 25g of plant based protein and 15g of fiber! I am currently not eating dairy to help manage my baby’s reflux but if I was, I would replace the almond milk for fairlife milk for even more protein! If you do try these, let me know what you think!!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup rolled oats

• ½ TBSP flaxseed meal

• ½ TBSP hemp seeds

• 1 TBSP chia seeds

• 1 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder - I used Orgain (1 scoop = a half serving, so ~10g protein. If using a different power, use half a scoop or full scoop for more protein and add more liquid)

• 1 TBSP PB2/PB Fit powder (dry)

• 1 TBSP Maple syrup (or honey)

• ¾ Cup Milk of choice (I used Almond milk but you can use any milk, it will just change the nutrient profile)

Directions

• Add all dry ingredients to a mason jar and mix

• Once mixed, add maple syrup and milk and mix until well combined

• Cover and leave overnight in the fridge and enjoy!

I prep a few for the week for easy breakfasts or snacks!
