Description

A simple, no-cook breakfast recipe that combines rolled oats, peanut butter, protein powder, and chia seeds for a creamy, high-protein meal that keeps you full for hours.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (for topping)
1/2 banana, sliced (for topping)
1 tablespoon crushed peanuts (for topping)

Instructions

Add 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1/4 scoop protein powder to each of four mason jars. Shake gently to distribute.
Pour 1/4 cup milk into each jar. Add 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter, and honey/maple syrup if using.
Stir vigorously with a spoon or shake in a bottle to dissolve peanut butter and protein powder, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
Seal jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
In the morning, stir the oats well. Top with sliced bananas, chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, and an extra drizzle of peanut butter.
Serve cold straight from the jar or microwave for 1-2 minutes if preferred warm.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant, for the best texture. Stir natural peanut butter well before measuring. For a thicker consistency, reduce milk slightly; for thinner, add more milk. Toppings should be added just before eating to maintain crunch. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
