Equipment

  • Jar or container with cover

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cacao powder or 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder or 1 tbsp dutch cocoa
  • A tiny pinch of espresso powder (Optional)
  • 2 tsp cacao nibs or chocolate chips or grated chocolate
  • 2/3 cup milk of your choice dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
  • 1/2 cup raspberries Fresh or frozen

Instructions
 

  • In a jar or container, combine the dry ingredients: oats, cocoa powder, cacao nibs and chia seeds. Mix well until the cocoa powder is fully mixed in and you don't see any clumps.
  • Add your milk and honey (and yogurt and vanilla if using) and mix well. I like using a jam jar and just shake it up.
  • Pour the mixture into your container and top with the raspberries.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  • The next day, in the morning, check to see how thick it is and add more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. You can also top with a drizzle of nut butter, a bit more honey for extra sweetness, or some dark chocolate shavings or chips if you like.

Notes

Substitutions:

  • Rolled Oats: Rolled oats have the best texture, Steel cut oats or quick oats, but not instant oats. You can also use quinoa or buckwheat flakes.
  • Cacao nibs: Dark chocolate chips or grated dark chocolate are also very nice.
  • Raspberries: fresh or frozen or use other fresh berries - fresh or frozen strawberries, blackberries or cherries are all delicious!
  • Chia seeds: They give your overnight oats a pudding like quality, but if you don't have any, you can leave them out.
  • Honey: You can use maple syrup, rice malt syrup, brown sugar or leave it out completely.

Additions:

  • Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
  • Nuts and seeds: almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pecans, hazelnuts (Nutella vibes!) or really any kind of nuts. Caramelized nuts add a nice crunch. Or add pumpkin, flax seeds or sunflower seeds.
  • Nut butter: a spoonful of almond, cashew, hazelnut or other nut butter adds some protein and creaminess to your overnight oats.
  • Protein powder: for extra protein. Just add a tablespoon and an extra tablespoon of milk to the mixture.
