Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sweetener maple syrup, honey, or preferred
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins/toppings: sliced banana peanut butter, chia seeds, chocolate chips, berries, nuts

Method
 

  1. In a bowl or mason jar, combine the oats, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour the milk over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is fully mixed and the cocoa is dissolved.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap.
  4. Place in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight, or at least 6 hours, so the oats absorb the liquid and soften.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If the texture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
  6. Add your favorite toppings such as sliced banana, a dollop of peanut butter, cocoa nibs, or berries.
  7. Serve cold and enjoy!
