Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup almond milk or dairy or oat milk
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (adjust 1-2 tbsp or preferred sweetener)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, or 2 tbsp)

Optional Toppings

  • Nut butter
  • Fresh berries
  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chia seeds to create the chocolate-flavored oat base.
  2. Add liquids and sweeteners: Pour in the almond milk (or your choice of dairy or oat milk), Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt), maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the jar or bowl containing dry ingredients.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and no dry cocoa powder remains, ensuring a smooth chocolate mixture.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips if using, distributing them evenly throughout the oat mixture.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
  6. Serve with toppings: Before serving, stir the overnight oats and add your preferred optional toppings such as nut butter, fresh berries, cacao nibs, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free yogurt and milk alternatives to make this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using preferred sweeteners.
  • Letting the oats chill overnight improves texture and flavor absorption.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with vegan or dairy-free versions if desired.
  • Refresh the toppings each day to add variety and nutrition.
