Ingredients in the Brownie Batter Overnight Oats

• old fashioned rolled oats – rolled oats are the best for overnight oats. Instant/quick oats and steel cut oats don’t work the same because they don’t absorb liquid like rolled oats do.
• plant-based milk – pick your favorite !
• chia seeds – for added fiber, protein and healthy fats. Chia seeds also absorb some liquid, making the end result a little thicker.
• chocolate protein powder – my go-to : XPN Iso-Xtrem !
• cocoa powder – this gives the oats their rich chocolate flavor and dark color
• sea salt – a pinch of sea salt is the perfect flavor enhancer and brings out the nutty flavor of the oats
• optional toppings – berries, granola, sliced nuts and almond butter.
• mixed berries – easy way to make this sweet breakfast more nutritious. Switch it up to try new flavors every time.
