Ferrero Rocher Protein Overnight Oats (Printable View)
Creamy chocolate hazelnut overnight oats with protein boost for an indulgent breakfast
# What You’ll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
05 - 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 2 tbsp hazelnut butter
07 - 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
08 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
09 - Pinch of salt
→ Toppings
10 - 2 tbsp chopped roasted hazelnuts
11 - 2 squares dark chocolate, chopped
12 - Additional hazelnut butter, for drizzling
13 - 2 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, halved
# Cooking Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa powder, hazelnut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
02 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, ensuring each container receives approximately half of the mixture.
03 - Cover containers with lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften completely and the flavors to meld together.
04 - Remove from refrigerator and stir each portion before serving. Top with chopped hazelnuts, dark chocolate pieces, and a drizzle of additional hazelnut butter. Garnish with half a Ferrero Rocher chocolate if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get all the creamy chocolate-hazelnut bliss of eating dessert for breakfast without the sugar crash that usually follows
- It takes literally five minutes to throw together the night before, meaning mornings become grab-and-go magic
02 -
- The texture changes dramatically between 4 hours and overnight, so if possible let them chill the full 8 hours for that perfect creamy consistency
- Protein powder brands vary wildly in sweetness, so start with less maple syrup and adjust after tasting
03 -
- Toasted hazelnuts make a huge difference, so toss yours in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes until fragrant before chopping
- Warm your hazelnut butter slightly in the microwave if it is too thick to stir easily
