Step by Step Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, instant coffee (if using), and chia seeds. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour in the almond milk and peppermint extract. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
Add your preferred sweetener to taste, adjusting as needed.
Divide the mixture into two jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of almond milk if needed to adjust the consistency. Top with dark chocolate shavings, if desired, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes and Modifications:
- Peppermint extract can be strong, so start with ¼ teaspoon and add more if needed. Taste as you go, as too much peppermint can overpower the other flavors.
- Adjust the amount of instant coffee granules based on your caffeine preference. For a stronger coffee flavor, use up to 3 teaspoons. You can also use decaffeinated coffee if you want to avoid caffeine.
- Use Vegan Protein powder to make this recipe Vegan.
- Whey/casein protein powder is recommended for its texture and flavor, I recommend the Select One PEScience brand, flavour Vanilla Gourmet for this recipe.
- This recipe is Gluten Free
