Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (Fairlife 2% milk recommended)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, molasses, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours, or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
