This protein apple pie overnight oats recipe is a quick, macro-friendly breakfast with 28g of protein, packed with comforting apple pie flavors and wholesome ingredients.
In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sugar-free maple syrup. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Add the old-fashioned oats to the mixture and stir until they are fully incorporated. Make sure there are no dry pockets of oats left. Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place the covered mixture in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
In the morning, give your apple pie overnight oats a good stir to mix everything evenly. If the mixture appears too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Top with chopped apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
