Creamy coconut cream pie overnight oats made with simple ingredients and over 25g of protein per serving. They take just 5 minutes to prep and taste like dessert for breakfast.
Add ½ cup oats, 1 scoop protein powder, ¾ cup + 2 Tablespoons coconut milk, ½ Tablespoon chia seeds, ½ Tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla, ⅛ teaspoon salt + ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon to two mason jars or airtight containers. Stir well to combine to make sure there are no clumps of protein powder left.
1 cup rolled oats, 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder, 1 13.5 oz (1 ¾ cups) can lite coconut milk , 1 Tablespoon chia seeds, 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to enjoy, bring out of the fridge and give the mixture another stir. If the oats are thicker than you like, add a splash of milk to the mixture and stir again.
Top with yogurt (or whipped cream), toasted coconut or desired toppings. Enjoy!

Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. The oats will thicken as they sit.
Meal prep: This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Double or triple the batch and portion into individual jars for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
Use lite canned coconut milk: This gives you the best balance of creamy texture and coconut flavor without making the oats too heavy. Full-fat coconut milk works too, but it will be thicker and more rich.
Protein powder matters: For the creamiest texture, use a whey protein powder. Plant-based protein powders absorb more liquid and can make the oats thicker or slightly gritty.
