Eggnog Overnight Oats | Holiday High Protein Breakfast

Eggnog Overnight Oats | Holiday High Protein Breakfast


  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Diet: Gluten-Free, Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat or dairy-free eggnog
  • 1/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approx. 20-25g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: Whipped cream, extra nutmeg, or pecans

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into a wide-mouth mason jar or a small glass container. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly with a spoon to ensure the protein powder and spices are evenly distributed. This prevents clumping once you add the liquid.
  2. Pour the eggnog, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the jar with the dry mixture. Use a spoon or a small whisk to stir everything together until you see no more dry pockets of oats or protein powder. Ensure the Greek yogurt is fully integrated for the creamiest possible texture.
  3. Seal the jar tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, though overnight (6-8 hours) is ideal for the best consistency. The chia seeds and oats will absorb the eggnog, creating a thick, pudding-like texture. Before serving, give it a quick stir and add a splash of extra milk or eggnog if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg and enjoy cold.
