Birthday cake chia overnight oats
These Birthday Cake Chia Overnight Oats are loaded with fiber and protein, but taste like dessert for breakfast! They take no time to assemble and the recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for make-ahead breakfasts for the week! They can be made gluten-free, vegan, and are low in sugar!
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup milk, of choice (use a creamy milk!)
- 1/3 cup quick oats or old-fashioned rolled oats *I prefer the texture of quick oats!
- 1/3 cup of your favorite protein powder
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 3 tbsp cashew butter or almond butter
- 1-3 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or monk fruit
- 1/4 tsp each, vanilla extract & almond extract
- natural sprinkles
- Optional topping: extra yogurt or coconut whip
Instructions
- Blend the base - Add the milk, cashew butter, extracts, protein, and yogurt to a blender and blend until smooth. You can also do this in a bowl, however I find blending it to be best to eliminate any clumps!
- Stir in the oats and chia seeds. Mix them in well until there's no clumps. Then divide the mixture amongst the jars. I like to top mine with a little yogurt topping or coconut whip and a dash of sprinkles.
- Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to thicken up!

Notes
Note: I strongly recommend not skipping the almond extract - It may seem like a tiny amount, but it's key to achieve that "birthday cake" flavor!
