Description
Creamy, rich, and deeply chocolatey, these Chocolate Overnight Oats are a quick, healthy, and satisfying breakfast option. Naturally sweetened and easy to prep ahead, they make busy mornings easier and more delicious.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: dairy-free chocolate chips, banana slices, almond butter, coconut flakes
Instructions
- In a mason jar or container with a lid, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add in the maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if desired to loosen the consistency.
- Add your favorite toppings such as banana slices, chocolate chips, almond butter, or coconut flakes.
- Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or warm in the microwave for 30–60 seconds for a cozy option.
Notes
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Can use oat or cashew milk for a different texture.
Add Greek yogurt or protein powder for extra protein.
Swapping maple syrup with honey or agave works well.
Texture will be softer if using quick oats.
