Brownie Batter Overnight Protein OatmealThis recipe is 100% gluten-free, but if you have an allergy or sensitivity, be sure to check that the oats you are using were processed in a gluten-free facility. You can also easily make this a vegan-friendly recipe by using a plant-based protein powder, milk, and sweetener. As far as flavor goes, we suggest using either an unflavored, vanilla or chocolate protein powder, although you can certainly explore other flavor options. In our video of this recipe, we used the conveniently pre-portioned packets of Allo protein powder, which come in a natural, unflavored options as well as vanilla, hazelnut, and caramel varieties. Since there is already a lot of sweetness going into this recipe, you don’t need a lot of additional sweetener, but adding a tablespoon of maple syrup, honey, or stevia can help to balance the different flavors. Similarly, you can use additional extracts on top of the vanilla such as almond or butter extract. You can even get a subtle change in taste by using different types of milk like unsweetened almond milk, vanilla almond or oat milk, or even chocolate milk for the ultimate triple chocolate experience. Still not enough chocolate? Add some chocolate chips on top along with some peanut butter or almond butter, chia seeds, fresh berries, or whatever toppings you like best. Ingredients:
