Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy such as almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir the dry ingredients together so the cocoa coats the oats evenly.
- Pour in the milk and whisk or stir until everything is well combined and there are no big cocoa clumps.
- Fold in the chocolate chips so they’re distributed through the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a covered container or divide between individual jars.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight for 6–12 hours to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- In the morning, stir the oats and enjoy them cold, or heat gently in the microwave for 20–45 seconds if you prefer them warm.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. For thicker oats, reduce milk by 1/4 cup. Customize with toppings like sliced banana or nuts.
