Chocolate Overnight Oats
A thick, creamy, chocolatey breakfast made from simply, healthy ingredients like oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Make a single serving for your self, or double, triple, or quadruple the recipe for a big batch to eat all week!
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk*
- 1/3 cup oats regular or quick-cooking both work
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa or cacao powder
- 1-3 teaspoons maple syrup more or less to sweeten
- a tiny splash of vanilla
- a tiny pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1. Put all ingredients into a 16oz jar (or other container with a lid), stir well, then cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours). This recipe can be made up to 5 days in advance, as long as you keep it refrigerated until ready to eat.
- 2. Serve as is, or with toppings such as granola, fresh fruit, cacao nibs, chocolate chips, peanut or almond butter, etc.
Notes
*I prefer the creamy texture and flavor of canned coconut milk, but any milk you like, or a combination of yogurt and milk (to make 1 cup total) will work just as well.
