🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, berries, nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter, shredded coconut

🍽️ 7 Directions

  1. Mix the base ingredients:
    In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and no clumps remain.

  2. Adjust consistency:
    If you like thicker oats, reduce the milk slightly. For creamier oats, add a splash more milk. The mixture should be pourable but not too watery.

  3. Transfer to containers:
    Pour the mixture into airtight jars or containers for individual servings. This makes it easy to grab a jar on busy mornings or pack for work or school.

  4. Refrigerate overnight:
    Seal the containers and place them in the fridge for at least 6–8 hours, or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid, creating a soft, creamy texture.

  5. Add toppings before serving:
    In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge and top with your favorite additions: sliced banana, fresh berries, nuts, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of peanut butter.

  6. Optional warm-up:
    If you prefer warm oats, microwave for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through. This gives a cozy, freshly-cooked feel while keeping it quick.

  7. Serve and enjoy:
    Dig in directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. These chocolate overnight oats keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.
