2tablespoonssprinklesplus extra for sprinkling on top
Optional Add-Ins
Maple syrup for additional sweetness
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, add oats, chia seeds, almond milk, cashew butter, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Fold in sprinkles until evenly distributed.
Cover and place in fridge for at least 4 hours, but ideally 8-10 hours.
Mix in an extra splash of almond milk before serving, if desired.
Divide mixture between two jars or bowls. Top with additional sprinkles if desired.
Notes
If you're looking to avoid artificial food dyes, you can purchase natural sprinkles that use colours and flavours derived from edible plants instead.
If you prefer to skip the sprinkles altogether, you can still make cake batter overnight oats using chunks of chocolate and/or chopped nuts. Feel free to get creative with the add-ins!
Be sure to use vanilla protein powder that you enjoy the flavour of, since this will act as the primary flavour and source of sweetness in these overnight oats.
Depending on what type of protein powder you use, you may need to mix in some additional milk after the oats have been sitting overnight. Vegan protein powders in particular tend to absorb more liquid and result in thicker overnights oats.
