In a large mixing bowl, add old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and cinnamon. Stir to distribute evenly.
Stir in almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Seal the bowl with a lid, refrigerate overnight. I recommend stirring the mixture 1 hour after you pop it in the fridge. This prevents the chia seeds from sinking to the bottom of the bowl.
The next day, serve in small serving jars with peanut butter, dairy-free yogurt, fresh berries, and nuts.
Note 1: This recipe doesn't work with steel-cut oats. You must use old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats.Nut-Free: To remove the nuts, use oat milk or soy milk and a nut-free protein powder like pea protein.
