Ingredients
  

Oatmeal Base and Toppings
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats 45g
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 30g
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds 15g
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1g
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt 0.5g
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 120ml
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup 15ml
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2ml
  • 2 tbsp vanilla yogurt 30g, for topping
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup 5ml, for drizzling

Equipment

  • 1 16-ounce (473ml) glass mason jar Essential for storing and layering.
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurate ingredient scaling.

Method
 

Preparing the Oats
  1. In a 16-ounce glass mason jar, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Whisk well to prevent protein clumps.
  2. Pour in the almond milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until all dry pockets are fully incorporated.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. In the morning, uncover the jar and top with a luscious swirl of vanilla yogurt. Finish with a generous drizzle of the remaining maple syrup and a light dusting of extra cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Notes

Double Stirring: Stir the oats again 10 minutes after the initial mix to ensure the chia seeds don't settle at the bottom.
Texture Adjustment: If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in an extra tablespoon of milk.
