Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- Pinch ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder "KATIES" for 15% off
- ¼ cup walnuts crushed
- ¼ cup coconut yogurt plus extra for serving
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
- ¼ cup raisins optional
Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, protein powder, and crushed walnuts. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well mixed.
Add the wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir everything together until well combined. If you're using raisins, add them to the mixture now and stir.
Refrigerate overnight:
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or mason jar, and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and thicken.
Serve:
- In the morning, stir the oats well, and top with extra coconut yogurt, shredded carrots, additional walnuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired!
