1/4 cup plain protein powder*
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract*

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a small jar or split between two jars to keep the two servings separate. Stir well to mix ingredients and dissolve chunks.
Place jar(s) in refrigerator overnight or for 2 hours at the very minimum (overnight is preferred).
Remove from refrigerator before eating and stir well.
Either eat directly from the jar(s) or place in a bowl. Eat within 24 hours of mixing for best results.

Notes

Flavored protein powder - If you use chocolate protein powder, skip the cocoa powder but add vanilla. If you use vanilla protein powder, skip the vanilla.

Microwave - Can be eaten cold or microwaved to eat warm. Microwave time will vary based on power level of microwave but watch carefully and microwave in short bursts since oats can boil and over run the container easily.
