    If you are bored of having the same breakfast every day. Then you need to try, what I call… Dessert for breakfast! This is the THICKEST Overnight Oats ever!! And I’m finally revealing my all time favorite oat recipe.

    the thickest overnight oats ever

    The THICKEST Overnight Oats ever is LEGIT, such a fun way to enjoy the best meal of the day aka breakfast! It’s high in protein and fiber, so you will be satisfied after having this bowl.

    Fun fact: I made this bowl for my mom (who doesn’t eat oats) and now she can’t stop making it. It’s so easy and quick to make and saves a lot of time in the mornings. Guess who made her love oats… hehe.

    Why I love oatmeal so much…

    I started eating oatmeal since my junior year of University and still haven’t stopped. It’s seriously so addicting. There are many ways to make it, from overnight oats, baked oats, stove-top oats… Here’s why:

    • Love the feeling of satisfaction after a good oatmeal bowl
    • Not hungry for hours
    • High in fiber (and you know… fiber makes you go to the 🚽 aka poop)
    • Healthy and packed with nutrients

    What you’ll need

    The list:

    • Oats – I used rolled oats. They have a chewier texture and soak well overnight without having a mushy consistency. But, feel free to use any type of oats like, quick oats, just add less milk.
    • Unsweetened cacao powder – Why unsweetened? Because you will be adding sweetener later on.
    • Chocolate protein powder – For extra packed protein intake. Replace with more unsweetened cacao powder and sweetener.
    • Liquid sweetener – I used honey. Replace with agave, maple or date syrup. Reduce water if not using honey, you should have a slightly thick consistency on the chocolate ganache.
    • Milk – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.

    That’s it! So minimal, simple and delicious!
