Chocolate Overnight Oats
Chocolate Overnight Oats are a perfectly sweet and decadent breakfast recipe. Prep the night before for the easiest make ahead morning meal.
Equipment
- mason jar or mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup (80 g) old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons (20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) milk of choice I use oat milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well.
- To the same bowl, add the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy cold, or heat them up in the microwave or on the stove if you prefer.
Notes
- To make a single serving, halve all of the ingredients.
- You can also double the recipe to make breakfast for the whole family!
- The ratio of oats to milk in this recipe is perfect, based on many, many tests, but if you like your oatmeal runnier, you can add an extra splash of milk before eating them.
- Instead of mixing up the oats in a bowl, add the ingredients to 1 or 2 jars, cover tightly, and shake to combine.
- Once mixed, overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
