Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats Old-fashioned, not instant or steel-cut
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder approx. 30g
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Use 2% or 5% for extra creaminess
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 tsp Maple Syrup Adjust to taste
Cinnamon Swirl & Topping
  • 1 tbsp Melted Butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Cream Cheese softened

Equipment

  • 1 Mason Jar or Bowl
  • 1 Mixing Spoon

Method
 

  1. In a mason jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir vigorously until everything is well-combined.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until it forms a paste.
  3. Layer half of the oat mixture into your jar, add the cinnamon swirl, and top with the remaining oat mixture.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Before serving, mix the softened cream cheese with a splash of milk or yogurt to make it spreadable and spoon it over the top of your oats.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The type of protein powder used can alter the final texture; add more milk if needed.
For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats or steel-cut oats.
