Description
Delicious chocolate overnight oats for a quick and healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the Dry Ingredients – In a mason jar or medium bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and salt. Mixing the dry ingredients first helps distribute the cocoa evenly so every bite has that rich chocolate flavor. The scent of cocoa and oats together already hints at the dessert-inspired breakfast waiting ahead.
- Add the Creamy Ingredients – Pour in the milk, then add the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the peanut butter blends smoothly into the mixture. The texture should become creamy and slightly thick, almost like chocolate pudding.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips – Add the mini chocolate chips and gently stir them through the oats. These little pockets of chocolate melt slightly overnight, making the oats taste even more indulgent the next morning.
- Refrigerate Overnight – Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. As the oats soak, they soften and absorb all the chocolate-peanut butter flavor while the chia seeds help create a thick and creamy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy – The next morning, give the oats a quick stir. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner texture. Top with extra peanut butter, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas for even more flavor and texture.
