Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
- ½ cup cooled coffee or cold brew
- 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if desired)
- 1 scoop (4 tablespoons) protein powder of your choice (I used unflavored collagen peptides)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Optional for a mocha flavor: 2 to 3 teaspoons cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, cooled coffee (or cold brew), maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and cacao powder (if making mocha-flavored oats). Mix until everything is well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in one tablespoon of mini chocolate chips.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Serve: Once ready to serve, divide the mixture into two 12-ounce mason jars (or serve in bowls as desired). Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. For an extra boost of protein and healthy fats, drizzle almond butter on top.
