Ferrero Rocher Protein Overnight Oats (Printable)
Creamy chocolate-hazelnut overnight oats with a protein boost for a nutritious breakfast.
# What You Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
05 - 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 2 tbsp hazelnut butter
07 - 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
08 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
09 - Pinch of salt
→ Toppings
10 - 2 tbsp chopped roasted hazelnuts
11 - 2 squares dark chocolate, chopped
12 - Additional hazelnut butter, for drizzling
13 - 2 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, halved
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa powder, hazelnut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
02 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, ensuring both portions contain equal amounts for consistent serving sizes.
03 - Cover the containers and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This resting period allows the oats to absorb the liquid completely and the flavors to meld together.
04 - Before serving, give the oats a thorough stir to redistribute any settled ingredients. Top each portion with chopped roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate pieces, and an optional drizzle of hazelnut butter. Garnish with half a Ferrero Rocher chocolate if desired. Serve chilled.
