Been trying to get into overnight oats (home made) for breakfast but its been hard to hit protein numbers, even with protein powder.

The study is suggesting two days of intense oats. You can go totally without protein for two days and barely notice it as long as you're keeping yourself full, and a big pile of oats does a surprisingly good job of that.
Once backpacking in Alaska I did oatmeal 10 days straight haha
With just the oats it's hard. What I do is ferment my own greek yogurt (milk and starter in an instant pot for 9h, then strain it in the fridge overnight) and eat that with müsli mixed in (the German kind that's nothing but whole grains and some raisins, not the garbage that's basically breakfast cereal). Tastes great and gives you a ton of slow-release energy and protein.
Adding greek yogurt thats a good idea!
I've had something similar in Iceland, good call.
Greek yogurt has a lot of protein?
Actual Greek yogurt will have 8-12% of it's weight in protein.
Another option might be curd / quark (differs a lot per country).
I use rolled soy flakes. I think they are pretty much perfect for this purpose, but unfortunately not so easy to source
How much protein do you actually need though? If you're not using it immediately (i.e. shortly after exercise) it's wasted.
This is wrong, there is no proof of an anabolic window.
