Instructions

For Instant Oats:

Place all ingredients except milk in a mason jar or plastic bag. When ready to eat, add milk, stir, and heat for 1:30 to 2:00 minutes in the microwave. Top with fresh fruit if you wish.

For Overnight Oats:

Place all ingredients in a mason jar. Stir the ingredients together, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. Eat the next day. Fruit can be added the night before or day of.

Notes

Enjoy hot or cold. This protein oats recipe is great straight from the fridge or warmed up in the microwave for a minute or so, so eat them whichever way you prefer.
Adjust the thickness: If you want your protein oatmeal a bit thicker, reduce the milk by 1 tablespoon. For thinner oats, increase the milk by 1-2 tablespoons.
Store: You can keep your oats in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. They will get more thick and a bit softer the longer they sit.
