Protein Overnight Oats are a high-protein breakfast idea that you can eat straight from the fridge for a fast morning. (With no protein powder flavor!)

Ingredients

½ cup old-fashined rolled oats
2 tablespoons collagen peptides
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¾ cup milk (see notes)

Instructions

Add the rolled oats, collagen, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, and milk to a 12-ounce or larger jar with a lid. Stir well until everything is mixed, then secure the lid and transfer to the fridge to chill. (At least 4 hours, or overnight.)
When you're ready to eat, remove the lid and give the oats another stir. You'll notice that they have plumped up and absorbed the liquid. They are ready to eat with any toppings you like, such as fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
These jars can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, so you can make as many servings as you'll eat in that time.

Notes

The nutrition information is for the whole batch, assuming you use unsweetened soy milk. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Milk Note: Soy and cow's milk have roughly 8 grams of protein per cup. This batch might have less protein if you swap for a dairy-free milk, like almond or oat milk.

Gluten-Free Note: Oats are naturally gluten-free, but can be contaminated during processing. Shop for certified gluten-free oats, if needed.

Protein Powder Note: I use unflavored collagen peptides in this recipe because you can't taste this amount at all. (At least, not with peanut butter and maple syrup added.) Feel free to experiment with using your favorite protein powder instead. I tried adding 1 tablespoon of my usual unsweetened plant protein powder, and I hated it. So, experiment at your own risk.
