Make this easy, make-ahead chocolate overnight oats recipe for a decadent, healthy breakfast that tastes like brownie batter. It is perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
  • 1 scoop (about 20g) chocolate protein powder (optional, for high protein oats)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or dairy free like almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and protein powder if you are using it. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the jar.
  3. Stir or shake the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and there are no dry clumps of cocoa powder remaining.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a splash more milk until you reach your desired texture for creamy overnight oats.
  6. Top with mini chocolate chips or other desired toppings before serving this quick grab and go meal.

Notes

  • For a dairy free overnight oats version, use your favorite plant-based milk (like almond or soy) and a non-dairy yogurt.
  • If you want a richer, brownie batter oats flavor, add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep oatmeal; you can prepare 3-4 jars at once for the week.
