Black Forest Overnight Oats are rich, chocolatey, creamy, and layered with tangy yogurt and sweet cherry chia jam for the ultimate high protein breakfast. Inspired by classic Black Forest cake, this easy make-ahead recipe brings together oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, cacao, Greek yogurt, and cherries for a nourishing breakfast that tastes like dessert but won't spike your blood sugar levels!
To a large ramekin (9oz) or a bowl add oats, protein powder, chia seeds, cacao powder. Stir dry ingredients to combine.
Add milk and vanilla and stir for at least 2 minutes. You want all the ingredients combined well and chia seeds to activate. Place in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
When you are ready to serve, spread yogurt on top of oats.
Add chia jam on top of yogurt. Sprinkle with cacao nibs or shaved chocolate.
Garnish with cherries.
Notes
Use whatever protein powder you have.
You can make this plant-based by using a high protein coconut yogurt.
