Description
A delicious and nutritious Chocolate Overnight Oats recipe that combines rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, chocolatey breakfast ready to enjoy after a few hours in the fridge.
Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cacao nibs
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. In a small airtight container, mix the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and cacao nibs thoroughly until well combined.
- Refrigerate. Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soak and absorb flavors resulting in a cold, creamy texture.
- Serve. When ready to eat, optionally top your chocolate overnight oats with an extra dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cacao nibs for added flavor and texture. Enjoy cold.
Notes
- You can substitute unsweetened almond milk with any milk of choice, such as cow’s milk or oat milk.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted or replaced with honey or a sweetener of your preference.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and a vegan sweetener.
- Add fresh fruits or nuts as additional toppings for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Overnight oats can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
