Ingredients
1/2 cup certified gluten-free quick oats
1 tsp chia seeds
1/2 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tbsp cashew butter
1 tbsp mini chocolate chips
2 tbsp chocolate chips (for coating)
1 tsp coconut oil (for coating)
Mini vegan gluten-free cookies (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, combine all the ingredients for the oats—oats, chia seeds, vegan protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup, cashew butter, and mini chocolate chips. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate the oats for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once the oats are set, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl for about 20-30 seconds, or until melted. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the oats.
- Optional: Top with mini gluten-free vegan cookies for an extra treat.
- Place the oats in the freezer for 10 minutes to let the chocolate solidify.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, enjoy your cookie dough-inspired oats!
Notes
- Swap cashew butter for almond butter or peanut butter if you prefer.
- Use any flavor of vegan protein powder you enjoy—chocolate or unflavored work well, too.
- For extra crunch, add fresh fruit like bananas or berries, or mix in some shredded coconut or crushed nuts.
- Use agave syrup or honey if you prefer an alternative sweetener.
- If you don’t have vegan protein powder, add extra chia seeds and almond butter for some protein.
