Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess/protein)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional topping)
Instructions
- In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir all ingredients together well until the cocoa powder is fully mixed in and there are no clumps.
- Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired creamy texture.
- Top with chocolate chips or other desired toppings before eating. This is a quick grab and go meal.
Notes
- For a high protein oats version, increase the Greek yogurt to 1/2 cup or add one scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder before chilling.
- If you prefer a dairy free overnight oats option, use a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk.
- This recipe is great for meal prep oatmeal; make 3-4 jars at once for easy breakfasts all week.
