This recipe for Cereal Milk Overnight Oats combines the nostalgic flavors of Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles cereal infused into milk to create a creamy, protein-packed breakfast. By soaking oats in cereal-flavored milk overnight, it delivers a delicious and convenient meal with a crunchy cereal topping to finish.

Ingredients

Cereal Milk:

  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles (72g)
  • 2 cups Cocoa Pebbles (72g)
  • 5 cups (40 oz.) milk of choice (recommended 2% Fairlife)

Overnight Oats (for each cereal):

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats (80g)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (30g)
  • 1.5 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 4 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/8 tsp salt (more to taste)
  • 1.5 cup cereal milk (360g)
  • 1 Tbsp cereal (each serving, for crunchy topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cereal Milk: Add Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles to two separate pitchers or large glasses. Pour 2.5 cups of milk into each and stir vigorously to combine. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the milk to absorb the cereal flavor.
  2. Strain the Milk: Use a fine-mesh strainer to drain the milk from the cereal in each pitcher, creating two distinct cereal milks.
  3. Mix Overnight Oats: In two medium bowls (one for fruity cereal and one for cocoa cereal), combine the oats, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, salt, and 1.5 cups of the respective cereal milk. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Portion Oats: Divide each oat mixture into 2 jars or containers, making a total of 4 servings of overnight oats.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover each jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best and creamiest texture, let them sit overnight or at least 8 hours.
  6. Serve: Just before eating, top each serving with 1 tablespoon of the corresponding cereal to maintain crunchiness.

Notes

  • Milk: Use any milk you prefer, including dairy or nondairy. Chocolate milk can enhance the chocolate flavor of Cocoa Pebbles.
  • Cereal Milk Yield: Each preparation yields about 1.5 cups of cereal milk per cereal type, enough for 2 servings each and 4 servings total overnight oats.
  • Storage: Overnight oats stay fresh in the fridge for 4-5 days.
