Bison-bar overnight oats.
Five minutes the night before gives the oats, chia, and Snickerdoodle bar time to soften into a cinnamon-forward breakfast by morning.
Why this works
One current Snickerdoodle wrapper lists 21g protein and 290 calories. The finished bowl adds whatever the selected milk, oats, chia, honey, and toppings contribute; it does not need an unsupported finished-recipe macro claim.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick or steel-cut)
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or grass-fed)
- 1 Genesee Snickerdoodle bar (crumbled)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: sliced banana, chopped nuts, more honey
Method
- 1
Combine rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a 12-16oz mason jar or glass container. Stir well.
- 2
Crumble the Genesee Snickerdoodle bar into the jar, breaking into roughly pea-sized pieces. Stir gently — you want pieces distributed, not pulverized.
- 3
Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. The oats hydrate and the bar partially dissolves into the milk, leaving a few chewy chunks for texture.
- 4
In the morning: stir to redistribute, taste, and adjust honey if you want it sweeter. Top with sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a final drizzle of honey if you have 30 extra seconds.
- 5
Eat cold straight from the jar, or warm in a microwave for 60 seconds if cold-oats aren't your thing. Either works.
Notes & variations
- Nutrition depends on milk and topping choices. Use each package label when you need exact totals.
- Allergen check: the current Snickerdoodle wrapper declares milk and peanuts. The recipe also uses milk and optional nuts.
- Batch-prep only what you will refrigerate and eat within 3 days. Keep at 40°F/4°C or below and add fresh toppings just before serving.
- Bar swap: White Chocolate Toffee gives a sweeter profile; note that its current label declares soy as well as milk and peanuts.
