Description
Delicious brownie-flavored overnight oats that are quick to prepare and perfect for a rushed weekday breakfast or dessert-for-breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or milk alternative — almond, oat, soy)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
- Nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to distribute the cocoa evenly.
- Pour in the milk and stir until everything is well combined and the oats are evenly hydrated. Taste and add more maple syrup if desired.
- Divide the mixture into jars or airtight containers, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to eat, stir the oats — add a splash of milk if they are too thick. Top with chocolate chips, nuts, or any other desired toppings.
Notes
Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can become mushy. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
