Ingredients
Scale
Oats and Seeds
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Flavorings and Toppings
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- Sliced banana (for serving)
- A sprinkle of sea salt (optional)
- Extra drizzle of maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chia seeds until evenly combined to ensure consistent flavor and texture throughout.
- Add wet ingredients and combine. Pour in almond milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, forming the base for the overnight oats.
- Refrigerate overnight. Cover the bowl with a lid or transfer the mixture into a mason jar. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Stir and fold in chocolate chips. The next morning, give the oats a quick stir to loosen the mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips so they melt slightly, adding bursts of rich chocolate throughout.
- Serve chilled with toppings. Serve the overnight oats cold, topped with fresh banana slices and a pinch of sea salt for balance. Optionally, drizzle extra maple syrup on top for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use almond milk or any milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy) depending on dietary preference.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but can be substituted with a plant-based yogurt for vegan options.
- Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add fiber and omega-3s.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your desired sweetness.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the fridge.
- Adding a pinch of sea salt enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
