Open in Pepper →Breakfast You Make The Night Before
Mornings move fast, and a jar already waiting in the fridge takes one decision off your plate. Five minutes of stirring after dinner buys you a breakfast you can eat standing up or hand to a kid on the way out the door.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on Sunday night, when they want the whole week's breakfasts lined up, or any evening the morning ahead looks tight.
Every recipe here is oats, milk, and something to make them stick with you — Chocolate Overnight Oats with protein powder, Banana Overnight Oats, Apple Crisp Overnight Oats, mint chocolate chip, cookie dough with nut butter and maple syrup, and a High Protein Overnight Oats made with skyr.
Quick Tips
- 1
Use rolled oats only
Old-fashioned rolled oats soak up liquid overnight and stay chewy; quick oats turn to mush and steel-cut never soften.
- 2
Stir in protein powder first
Whisk the powder into the milk before adding oats, or you'll fight dry clumps in the morning. About 1 cup milk per 1 scoop works.
- 3
Start with equal parts
One cup oats to one cup milk is the baseline. Add another 2 tablespoons if you like it looser, since protein powder soaks up extra.
- 4
Give it 6 hours
Overnight really means at least 6 hours in the fridge. They keep 4 to 5 days, so make four jars at once.
