Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup certified gluten free oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1/2 scoop 1UP Nutrition cookies and cream protein powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Chocolate Cream Cheese Layer
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1.5 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for cheesecake flavor)
Topping
- Crushed Oreo pieces (can purchase pre-crushed or blend an Oreo in a blender or food processor)
Instructions
- Prepare the oats base: In a bowl or jar, combine the certified gluten free oats, chia seeds, almond milk, cookies and cream protein powder, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir the mixture well to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Mix the chocolate cream cheese layer: In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and the cream cheese if using. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a rich, chocolaty layer with a hint of cheesecake flavor.
- Assemble the overnight oats: Once the oat mixture has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Layer the oats with the prepared chocolate cream cheese mixture. Spread the chocolate layer evenly over the oats, then sprinkle the crushed Oreo pieces on top for added texture and flavor.
- Chill overnight: Place the assembled oats back into the refrigerator and let it set overnight. This allows all the flavors to meld together and ensures the dessert-like texture of the oats and layers.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, grab your ready-to-eat Oreo Crumble Protein Overnight Oats and enjoy a quick, high-protein, gluten-free breakfast that’s packed with flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other non-dairy or dairy milk of your choice.
- The cream cheese is optional but adds a delightful cheesecake flavor to the chocolate layer.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt or coconut yogurt and omit cream cheese or use a vegan alternative.
- Use certified gluten free oats to ensure the recipe is gluten free.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less maple syrup.
