Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional, for high protein)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: chocolate chips, peanut butter, fresh berries
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir or shake the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and there are no dry clumps of oats or cocoa powder.
- Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, check the consistency. If the oats are too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired creamy texture.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of peanut butter or a few chocolate chips, and eat cold.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and skip the Greek yogurt, or substitute it with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- If you prefer a richer, darker chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder or add a few drops of black food coloring.
- This recipe is excellent for batch preparation; make 3-4 jars on Sunday for an easy grab and go breakfast all week.
