Overnight oats with vegan protein are one of my favourite breakfasts to start my day! They’re tasty, high in protein and great for vegan meal prep!
The night before, just simply mix the listed ingredients together in a jar then let it sit overnight… by the time you wake up, they are ready to devour with no cooking involved!
To make the best vegan protein overnight oats, use things like cinnamon, brown sugar, and vegan yogurt! It gives your protein oats a cinnamony and sweet taste with a slight creaminess. And makes your oats taste like cinnamon rolls!
You don’t have to follow this exact recipe, but if you do… you’ll have vegan protein oats for breakfast that taste like a healthy cinnamon roll!
Ingredients
- Vegan Protein Powder (I like using vanilla protein powder)
- Rolled Oats
- Chia Seeds
- Cinnamon
- Brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- Unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use soy milk for the high protein)
- Vanilla extract
Optional: Plain non-dairy yogurt (for extra creaminess)
Optional: Banana or other fruit (for topping)
To make vegan protein overnight oats gluten-free, simply use gluten-free rolled oats.
To make recipe soy-free, simply use a soy-free non-dairy milk
To make recipe nut-free, simply use a nut-free non-dairy milk
To make this recipe less sweet, use a little less sugar.
Tip: Swap the vanilla protein powder with chocolate if you want a chocolatey taste (also swap the non-dairy milk for chocolate flavoured non-dairy milk)
How To Make Protein Overnight Oats (Vegan)
The following instructions are for 2 servings of vegan protein overnight oats. If you want 4 days worth of breakfast, just double the ingredient amounts.
Start by getting your glass jars to put your oats in overnight. Add in your dry ingredients into each jar: rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and brown sugar (if you don’t want a sweet breakfast you can decrease the sugar amount).
Next, grab a protein shaker, or some sort of mixer, and add your vegan protein powder and non-dairy milk together. Shake well to create your vegan protein liquid. Add half the protein shake to one jar, and the other half to another jar. Repeat if you have more jars for overnight oats.
Along with the protein shake, add vanilla extract, and optionally, add non-dairy yogurt into each jar. Mix the contents of your jars well with a spoon. Optionally, top each jar with banana slices or fruit and sprinkle more cinnamon on top (if desired).
Close the lids and refrigerate overnight (or at least 1-2 hours) to enjoy a high-protein vegan breakfast in the morning and the next day(s).
These vegan overnight oats will keep in the fridge for around 3-4 days.
