Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
Chocolate Enhancements
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup (optional topping)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and your choice of sweetener (maple syrup or honey). Ensure these are evenly mixed to distribute the chocolate flavor and sweetness.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and Greek yogurt (if using) until the mixture is well combined, creating a creamy base for your overnight oats.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to add bursts of chocolate throughout the oats.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the oats to soften the texture, and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired, enhancing the richness and presentation of your chocolate overnight oats.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, bittersweet flavor.
- Add a spoonful of peanut butter to the mix for extra indulgence and a nutty twist.
