Notes
Tips for Making Protein Overnight Oats
- Make the night before, and eat the next morning. I don't recommend making a bunch of overnight oats for the week and letting them sit in your refrigerator. They taste best and retain their consistency better when eaten the next morning.
- Use rolled oats, not quick oats or steel-cut oats.
- Be sure to thoroughly stir all the ingredients together. You don't want to end up with clumps of protein powder.
- Adjust the sweetness for your preferred taste. You can add a bit more maple syrup but it will add additional sugar.
- Use unsweetened plant-based milk, and unsweetened protein powder so that you have control over the sugar.
- If you want to warm up your oats microwave them for about 45 seconds per serving. Watch it in the microwave so that it doesn't bubble up too much and create a mess.
