Prepare this no-bake, high protein cookie dough overnight oats recipe for a quick, satisfying, and dessert-flavored breakfast that supports muscle gain.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or casein work well)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for cookie dough flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping or mixing)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix the dry ingredients well.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and maple syrup to the dry mixture.
  3. Stir everything together thoroughly until no dry pockets of protein powder remain. The mixture will be thick.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired creamy texture.
  6. Stir in or top with mini chocolate chips before serving.

Notes

  • For the best cookie dough flavor, use a high-quality vanilla protein powder. Casein protein thickens the mixture more, resulting in a dough-like texture.
  • If you prefer a lower sugar option, use stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of maple syrup.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep breakfast recipes; make 3-4 jars at once.
  • To make this recipe fully vegan, use a plant-based protein powder and plant-based yogurt/milk.
