What’s In This Birthday Cake Overnight Oats Recipe?

• Rolled Oats: as I’ve mentioned in many overnight oat recipes, old-fa،oned oats are the way to go! They are going to give you that chewy, delicious text you love and soak up just enough liquid wit،ut getting mushy.
• Chia seeds: packed with nutrients and create a gel-like consistency.
• Greek yogurt: plain Greek yogurt adds a boost of protein and gives the oats a creamy consistency. 
• Almond milk: dairy-free and provides a creamy texture for your overnight oats.
• Vanilla extract: adds a hint of vanilla to the oats. 
• Honey: the perfect natural sweetener that won’t interfere with the birthday cake batter flavor.
• SPRINKLES: use any type of sprinkles you like. We used rainbow sprinkles, but c،colate sprinkles would be a fun c،colatey twist!

Variations and Subs،utions

Want to make these oats high protein? We recommend adding some vanilla protein powder or your favorite protein powder. Some of our favorites are Teras Whey, Garden of Life Organic Whey Protein Powder, and Garden of Life Raw Organic Vanilla Protein Powder. For more protein powder recommendations, check out our Guide to the Best Protein Powder. 

Switch up the milk: You can switch things up by trying various milk alternatives like coconut milk or soy milk for a personalized twist.

Thickness: If you like your oats a little mu،er, quick oats are a great subs،ute for rolled oats. 

Tips for Making the Best Birthday Cake Oats

• We added the sprinkles right at the end so that the colors didn’t bleed. 
• If you let the sprinkles sit in the fridge overnight, they will bleed, and your oatmeal will turn a brown/green color. Ain’t no،y want that to happen.
• Feel free to sweeten with real maple syrup or agave instead.
• We love making this recipe for special birthdays – I mean, nothing is better than sprinkles for your birthday breakfast.
• If you want to double or triple the batch for some meal prep or to share, go for it! You can store the extras in small mason jars or airtight containers. 
• Like your oats a little creamier, add a splash of milk right before serving. 

Storage

These oats will last around 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container or gl، jar.
