Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Overnight Oats 30G Protein

I love to make overnight oats as they are a delicious and easy breakfast that I can make in very large batch to meal prep a whole week of healthy breakfast. And if I want more protein, I either go for my Protein Overnight Oats, Vanilla Overnight Oats, or Overnight Oats with Protein Powder. This version is a chocolate version of all of the above, with a massive 30.1 grams of protein per serving. You’ll find below all my tips to pick the right ingredients, how to make the recipe, and some of my meal prep tips so you too can get ready for the week to come!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Oats – I use old-fashioned rolled oats. You can also use quick oats, but for steel-cut oats, you might need to get some tips from my Overnight Steel Cut Oats. Chocolate Protein Powder – I’ve tried this recipe with pea protein powder (NuZest) and almond protein powder (MacroMike), and it was delicious with both. Cocoa Powder – I choose unsweetened cocoa powder to make it easier to balance the sweetness. Maple Syrup – Use any natural liquid sweetener, like agave nectar, coconut syrup, or rice malt syrup. Peanut Butter – Natural peanut butter makes this delicious, but you can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. Do not use peanut butter that contains additional sugar or oil. Soy Milk – I like soy milk because it’s richer in protein but you can also use almond milk or coconut milk. I use a protein enriched version of soy milk with even more protein! Chocolate Chips – Any of your favorite chocolate chips are fine, I like them rich in cocoa. Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses. They bring texture and nutrients to the overnight oats. Powdered Peanut Butter – For the top layer, I like to use powdered peanut butter for even more protein, but you can also use regular peanut butter.
