Ingredients
  

For the oats::

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup oats (I always use Quaker Old Fashioned for the best texture)
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp protein powder (I prefer Optimum Nutrition vanilla for better mixing)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the drizzle::

  • 2 tbsp yogurt (use thick Greek style to make it extra creamy)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a mason jar or container, combine the milk, oats, 1/4 cup yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to ensure the protein powder is fully dissolved and no lumps remain—I always use a whisk for this to break up any clumps before refrigeration. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften while the flavors meld together.
  • When ready to serve, whisk together the thick Greek yogurt and maple syrup until smooth and pourable. I like to use Greek yogurt for this topping because it adds a tanginess that complements the warm cinnamon flavors beautifully without making the drizzle too runny.
  • Remove the chilled overnight oat mixture from the refrigerator and give it a good stir, adding a splash of additional milk if the consistency is too thick. Pour the yogurt-maple syrup drizzle from Step 2 over the top and swirl it through or serve it on the side. Enjoy immediately, or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
