Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned)
- 1 scoop vanilla or pumpkin spice protein powder
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup cold brew coffee or a shot of chilled espresso
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or a pinch of stevia (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a mason jar or a small sealable container, add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together first to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed and doesn’t clump when you add the liquid.
- Pour in the almond milk, cold brew coffee, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, add your maple syrup or preferred sweetener at this stage. Stir everything vigorously until the mixture is well-combined and no dry pockets of protein powder remain.
- Secure the lid on your jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best for the creamiest texture. The chia seeds and oats will absorb the liquid and thicken into a delicious consistency.
- In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If they seem too thick, you can splash in a little extra milk. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of pecans before enjoying.
