Ingredients

Chocolate Overnight Oats

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats 50g
  • 2 tsp chia seeds 6g
  • 2 Tbsp dark or Dutch-processed cocoa powder 10g
  • 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar 20g
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter - optional 15g
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract - optional 4g
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips 45g
  • 2/3 cup milk of your choice or water 160g

Optional Toppings:

  • whipped cream
  • chocolate syrup
  • additional peanut butter

Instructions

  • Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tsp chia seeds, 2 Tbsp dutch-processed cocoa, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 Tbsp peanut butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips.
  • Pour in 2/3 cup of milk or water and give the oats a good stir.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you're ready to eat the oats, remove from the fridge. You’ll see that the oats absorbed a lot of the liquid, so you might want to add a little more water or milk of your choice before eating.
  • If desired, top with whipped cream and/or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
  • These chocolate overnight oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

How To Make the Best Chocolate Overnight Oats:

  • Make your oats in a sealable container like a mason jar!
  • Feel free to double this recipe or make multiple jars to last the entire week.
  • These chocolate overnight oats stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • If you like your oatmeal a bit thinner, I suggest adding a splash of water or your favorite milk before eating.
  • Top your overnight oats with chocolate shavings and whipped cream to take them to the next level.
