Berry Crumble Overnight Oats

It's officially summer and fresh, ripe, juicy berries are on the menu! We could make crumble bars, pie or a crisp, but that wouldn't help us with our protein goals, now would it!? So why not turn those fresh summer desserts into a protein powerhouse that you can eat for breakfast without the fear of that dreaded mid morning energy crash. This berry crumble is not only totally reminiscent of those coffee house bars but it's incredibly filling with 47g of plant-based protein, complex carbs, and the perfect dose of healthy fats. 

Berry crumble is a really popular dessert, usually served warm with baked and stewed crushed berries with sugar, and a crumbly oat topping. It's great served with ice cream or whipping cream and it's the perfect warm weather dessert. It's also a great coffee house staple bar served cold with an thick chewy oat base, a baked berry layer and an crumbly oat topping. Both these versions are what inspired this easy, high protein, overnight oats recipe! 

I love creating oats recipes that feel decadent and fun. Especially when they taste like my favourite desserts. 

Substitutions:

I'm a big fan of sprouted oats as they pack more vitamins, minerals, and protein per serving than regular oats. I buy these in bulk at Costco by the One Degree Organics Brand. However you can substitute whatever oats you have on hand!

I've used blackberries because I had some fresh and juicy ones ready in my fridge, but you can of course use any berry you prefer! Strawberries or raspberries would be amazing!

Want to make these soy free? No problem. Just switch out the soy milk for your preferred dairy free milk. Want to switch the soy milk, but still keep the protein at 47g? Opt for a high protein milk swap like hemp, flax, or this high protein almond milk from Silk.

Sub the peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter or any of your preferred nut or seed butters. 

If you use Vedge protein like I do, they have a Cinnamon Roll flavoured protein powder that would be a great substitute for vanilla here! You can shop their protein using discount code: EVANNRYAN

 

Why You'll Love These Berry Overnight Oats:

They're SO simple and quick to make. Whip up a batch of 2-4 servings in under 20 minutes for the ultimate weekly vegan meal prep. 

They're really high in protein! If you have protein goals, starting your day with these is going to put you way ahead of your daily target. Side note: I like to use super high protein recipes like this so I can enjoy something maybe less protein forward at lunch or dinner if that's what I'm craving. It's all about the daily balance!

They're packing serious nutrition from antioxidant rich berries, fibre packed sprouted oats, healthy fats from all natural nut butter, and all 9 essential amino acids from a high quality organic protein powder. 

Most importantly, they taste amazing!
