amp up the protein!

Yes! You can sub with any other liquid!
I love this recipe, I am a lover of CINNAMON , Easy to do, easy to eat 😉

E || OH LA LATKES
Love adding protein powder to overnight oats!
Oh my gosh, the engagement made me so happy! Congrats, Lee! These overnight oats look wonderful. The fact that the bowls look substantial is even more fantastic–I have to give these a go one day!
The calorie count on this is off again….a cup of oats has 300 calories, so if the recipe makes 2 servings, there’s no way each serving is only 131 calories. If you’re going to include nutrition info, please check to make sure it’s right. Otherwise it’s useless and not worth your time. Thank you!
Thanks Alex. All fixed!
Congratulations on your engagement!!!! Love overnight oats and can’t wait to try these.
Thank you!!
Does the recipe use 1/2 c or 1 c oats? I think you forgot to include the oats in the recipe, but it looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it.
So sorry I must have deleted it! 1 cup!
I think the quantity of oats is missing from the recipe! 🙂
P.S. they look friggin delicious
Thanks for catching that I think I accidentally deleted it! 1 cup rolled oats <3
So hungry when reading your post! why so delicious? :'(
Just want to say that I love your blog! I found it a couple weeks ago and we’ve already tried several recipes. So I have this prepped for tomorrow but was wondering if the oatmeal can be heated up–or is that weird with the yogurt? Just wanted to check because my husband is picky about food temps and textures.
Thanks!
Hm good question! I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why not! I’ve used Greek yogurt in baked goods, so I think it’ll be fine! Glad you like FFF 🙂
