Chocolate Overnight Oats Recipe
Making these oats is as easy as mix and chill. In a large bowl, whisk almond milk, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until the cocoa fully blends into a smooth, chocolatey base. Stir in the old-fashioned oats until everything's well coated. Spoon the mixture into jars or airtight containers, seal them, and pop them in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, or coconut milk, whole milk, or 2% milk
- 4 tablespoons honey, or pure maple syrup for a vegan version
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats, rolled oats
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk almond milk, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the cocoa dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the old-fashioned oats and stir gently until they're fully coated in the chocolatey liquid.
- Divide the mixture evenly into four glass jars or sealed containers. Seal tightly.
- Refrigerate the jars overnight (or at least 8 hours).
- In the morning, stir the oats and top with favorites like fresh fruit, a dollop of nut butter, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
