Ingredients

Base Mixture

  • 50 g oats (quick or rolled)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-4 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 180 ml almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Serving Suggestions

  • Melted dark chocolate
  • Fresh berries
  • Coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients: Place oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, Medjool dates, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth for a creamy texture, or pulse briefly if you prefer a bit of texture in your oats.
  2. Refrigerate the mixture: Transfer the blended mixture into a sealable jar or container. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve with toppings: Before serving, garnish with melted dark chocolate, fresh berries, or coconut flakes according to your preference for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use quick oats if you want a smoother, faster-hydrating texture; rolled oats will give a heartier bite.
  • Adjust the number of Medjool dates based on your desired sweetness.
  • For a vegan and dairy-free option, ensure the chocolate toppings are also dairy-free.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more almond milk before serving.
