What’s In This Vanilla Cake Overnight Oats Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Old Fashioned Oats: I used old fashioned oats for this recipe. I found old fashioned oats work much better than quick oats, as they hold up really well overnight.
- Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an #extra boost.
- Maple Syrup
- Ground Flaxseeds: I always add a scoop in my oatmeal! This flaxseed meal has a wonderful nutty flavor too.
- Rainbow Sprinkles – because how fun are they?!
