Funfetti Protein Overnight Oats |Cooking With Amanda

Colorful and bright and fun! WHEEEE!

That's the kind of breakfast words that I want to utter every morning after rolling out of bed <3

Meet my current breakfast obsession, in the sense that I sometimes even eat it for dinner because SPRINKLES: Funfetti protein overnight oats.

I can still taste this morning's wholesome oatmeal all swirled up with vanilla-scented almond milk, crunchy sprinkles and Greek yogurt WITH protein powder FROSTING. Frosting, guys. You know, that light, whippy, sugary goodness on cakes, that is SOLE the reason why you're cake-eating purpose in life is to MAKE SURE that you get the CORNER PIECE?

Maybe that's just me though. I've got a thangggg for frosting and it just won't QUIT.

BUT R-E-A-L-L-Y, frosting that is only 2 ingredients and is full of super-good-for-you-nourishing-stuff: protein powder and almond milk.

That's it. That's all. 2 Ingredients = frosting you can eat OFF THE SPOON…and make in 2 seconds.

Okay. Hittin' pause so you can go make a bowl of it, grab your spoon, and then come back to finish.

Aaaaand, we're back.

Funfetti ANYTHING is not new around this little space of the interwebz. It's my not-so-secret-at-all obsession, and I kinda try to eat it any way possible always. I blame my momma who always made me Funfetti cupcakes to celebrate every birthday. Little did she know she was creating a sprinkle-eating, frosting-licking Funfetti MONSTER.

Since those childhood birthdays, I've been getting my sweet-sprinkly-cake fix with anything from Funfetti breakfast quinoa to gluten free Funfetti pancakes.

The cake for breakfast game? STRONG.

How-EV-er, those things take time. Which I like to pretend I don't have because I live a very important and busy food-blogger person life. This means that my morning-moments are precious and need to be used WISELY. In my books, it's better to spend NO time making breakfast, so that my busy self can be hard to work before the sun even RISES.

I can't confirm nor deny that it's just 'cause I wanna sleep in longer though.

Whatever. Breakfast made the night before is my fav. It's your fav. It's E'RYONES fav.

Picture yourself snuggled up in your jammies, juuuust about ready to call it a day, and then spending ONLY 3ish MINUTES stirring each fleck of oatmeal into creamy almond milk, until it's JUST PERFECTLY moistened, and then throwing in a few tablespoons (handfuls obvi) of sprinkles. Walk to your refrigerator, put it in and wave good bye….until you're reunited again in the morning.

NOW, picture the sweet, cake-filled dreams that your cozy, already-prepared for morning munchin' self will have.

Good breakfast vibez yo'.

We got 'em.

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons sprinkles
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, or milk of choice, plus additional for the frosting
2 teaspoons butter extract
1/2 cup nonfat vanilla greek yogurt
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

Directions

In a medium bowl stir together the oatmeal and sprinkles.
Add in 1 cup of the almond milk and the butter extract and stir well.
Place 1/4 cup each of the oat mixture in the bottom of two glasses, jars, or small bowls.
Then, gently spread 1/4 cup each of the Greek yogurt onto of the oats.
Divide the remaining oat mixture between the 2 glasses, on top of the yogurt layer.
Let sit overnight.
In the morning, stir together the protein power with just enough almond milk to turn it into a thick, frosting-like consistency. My protein needed about 5 teaspoons of milk. Start small and add as needed.
Divide the frosting on the top of each cup and DEVOUR.
