Creamy overnight oats with protein, peanut butter layers, and homemade strawberry swirl. Prep in 10 minutes for a protein-packed morning.
# What You Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
03 - ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 30 g)
05 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
07 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt
→ Peanut Butter Layer
09 - 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
→ Strawberry Jam Swirl
10 - 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
13 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
# Steps:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
02 - Place strawberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release their juices. Lightly mash with a fork, then remove from heat. Stir in chia seeds and lemon juice, then allow to cool and thicken.
03 - Divide the oat mixture in half and spoon the first portion into two jars or containers. Add approximately 1½ tablespoons of peanut butter to each jar, then top with the remaining oat mixture.
04 - Swirl 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry jam on top of each jar, creating an attractive marbled effect.
05 - Cover jars securely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
06 - In the morning, stir gently if desired. Top with fresh strawberries or chopped peanuts before serving. Consume chilled or warm briefly in microwave if preferred.
