Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats (slow or quick cook – gluten free if needed)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 3 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (or cacao nibs)
- 1 scoop your favourite vegan protein powder
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups dairy free milk
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, vegan chocolate chips, and vegan protein powder. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

- Divide and Store: Transfer the mixture into bowls or storage containers, cover them with lids or plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the covered containers in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften into a pudding-like consistency.

Notes
- Use gluten free oats to make this recipe gluten free.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with agave syrup or honey if not strictly vegan.
- For extra creaminess, use thicker dairy free milk alternatives like oat or cashew milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adding protein powder boosts the nutritional content, but it’s optional.
