Notes
- Use your favorite non-dairy milk instead of soy milk.
- Use Textured Pea Protein instead of TVP. You can buy this online – I like the brand AcreMade.
OK, TVP in oats is potentially a really weird thing to do and I don’t think that many people do it, but GUYS! It’s an awesome and easy way to get more protein! Also, if you’re already making overnight oats, it’s an easy swap to just use half of the oats you would normally use and add TVP for the other half!
This is such an easy and quick breakfast to make. I just spend less than 5 minutes stirring everything together the night before and bam! easy high protein breakfast in the morning! This is also a super filling breakfast so sometimes I save part of it for lunch! If peanut butter chocolate banana oats aren’t your thing, I feel sad for you, but you can definitely swap out those toppings for something else you like better! If you do happen to make this with other toppings, please tell me! I love trying new things in my oats!
Ingredients
- Overnight Oats topping are very personal to some people so if you don’t like this flavor combo, but still want to try adding TVP to your oats with this recipe, these are the must have ingredients you’ll still need to use to get the same texture – oats, TVP, non-dairy milk, protein powder, chia seeds.
- TVP – Textured Vegetable Protein – this is my favorite ingredient in the kitchen because it is so incredibly versatile; you can make muffins, tacos, high protein oats, loaded fries, etc. with it and that’s only naming a few! You should be able to find TVP at most stores, near the gluten-free flour options. Since this is a shelf-stable ingredient, you can also order it online. The texture it has in this recipe is so close to oats that it’s actually hard to identify which bites have oats an which are TVP!
- Oats – I used old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe and this is the type of oats I always use in my overnight oats. I think I heard somewhere that they just hold up better than instant oats when you’re soaking them overnight. I’m sure there’s a really great scientific reason, but for me, I just read it somewhere so now I do that 🙂
- Soy Milk – you can use a different type of non-dairy milk here, but soy milk is my favorite for the protein content.
- Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder – if you’ve looked at a few of my recipes, you’ll notice that I don’t use protein powder much because I don’t love the taste and texture. I think a subtly flavored protein powder actually works really well in this recipe though, as the oats don’t have much flavor or sweetness. I used Earth Chimp Vanilla because I don’t mind the flavor of it. Make sure you pick a protein powder that you really like the flavor of though, because that’s mostly what your oats will end up tasting like!
- Chia Seeds – these are a must-have with these Overnight Oats, as they thicken out the soy milk and everything turns nice and creamy!
- PB Fit Powdered Peanut Butter – you can usually find this or the other main powdered peanut butter brand, PB2, at most grocery stores. Or you can buy it online. You don’t have to use this in your oats, I just like the extra peanut-buttery flavor it adds!
- PB Fit Peanut Butter – I like to drizzle a little of the PB Fit Peanut Butter on top too. You can also use just regular peanut butter but this could change the calories and macros a bit.
- Mini Vegan Chocolate Chips – I always have several bags of the Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips lying around so I like to use those. I prefer the minis because I’m more likely to get chocolate in every bite.
- Banana – I just think bananas taste good with chocolate and peanut butter.
Instructions
- In a bowl or tupperware (I like to use glass tupperware because I’m a monster and will heat my overnight oats), dump in your TVP, Oats, milk, protein powder, peanut butter powder, and chia seeds. Stir really well, making sure you get rid of any lumps that the protein powder might cause.
- Next, drizzle your peanut butter on top.
- Sprinkle on the chocolate chips.
- Thinly slice the banana and add it on top too.
- Let it set overnight in the fridge.
- You can either eat this cold or you can heat it up!
