Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (almond, oat, soy, or cow’s milk)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, cashew, or peanut butter)

Optional Toppings

  • Additional mini chocolate chips
  • A drizzle of maple syrup
  • A dollop of yogurt

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a glass jar or bowl with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt to create the base of your overnight oats.
  2. Add liquid ingredients: Pour in the milk of your choice, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and nut butter into the dry mixture.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Stir everything together until the nut butter is fully incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps and that all oats are submerged in the liquid.
  4. Add chocolate pieces: Fold in the mini chocolate chips, giving your oats the classic cookie dough look and taste.
  5. Refrigerate: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 to 8 hours to allow the oats to soften and the chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
  6. Enjoy: The next morning, stir the oats well. You can eat it cold straight from the fridge or add a splash of milk for a thinner consistency. Garnish with extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt if desired, and enjoy your delicious breakfast!

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; quick-cooking oats may become too mushy.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • Feel free to use any type of milk, including plant-based options.
  • Nut butter varieties can be changed according to preference to alter the flavor profile.
  • This recipe is best prepared the night before to allow proper soaking and flavor melding.
  • Optional toppings are a great way to customize your breakfast and add extra texture.
