Why I love this recipe:

• Quick – Only 10 minutes to prep these protein overnight oats and then you wake up to a filling breakfast ready to go!
• Portable – I love prepping these and bringing them for an on-the-go breakfast, camping, early morning travel day, or even lunch at the pool!
• Delicious – As much as I love Cinnamon Apple and Strawberry Overnight Oats, there’s nothing like this chocolate peanut butter overnight oats combo to curb my cravings and leave me feeling full.

Ingredients Needed:

• Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – I always buy organic.
• Chia Seeds
• Chocolate Protein Powder – the Clean Simple Eats Chocolate Brownie Batter is my favorite kind.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – I love the Guittard cocoa powder and this extra dark cocoa powder, but any will work.
• Peanut Butter Powder – I love the PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder and use it in my chocolate protein shakes and love to add it to my protein bars, and energy balls.
• Pure Maple Syrup
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Vanilla Extract

How to make Chocolate Overnight Oats:

Combine Ingredients: Add oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cocoa powder and peanut butter powder to a bowl then mix to combine. Stir in maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Refrigerate: Divide chocolate peanut butter overnight oats between two half pint mason jars or containers with a lid (I like to use these) and refrigerate overnight or up to 5 days before eating.

Enjoy these chocolate protein overnight oats plain, or top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, cacao nibs or coconut flakes.

Recipe Variations:

• Peanut Butter Powder: Could be left out or substitute natural creamy peanut butter or almond butter.
• Strawberry Overnight Oats
• Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats
