Ingredients

Scale

For the Oats:

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickness)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

For the Chocolate Boost:

  • 1 tbsp melted dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (for extra fudginess)

For Toppings (Optional but Delicious!):

  • Drizzle of melted chocolate
  • Extra chocolate chips
  • Dusting of cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Add Chocolate Boost: Stir in the melted dark chocolate and chocolate chips for extra fudgy texture and rich chocolate flavor. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  4. Serve with Toppings: In the morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and stir well. Add optional toppings such as a drizzle of melted chocolate, extra chocolate chips, and a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra decadent touch.
  5. Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a quick, delicious breakfast or snack that tastes like a healthy brownie batter treat.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, oat, or dairy milk, based on dietary needs.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; substitute with dairy-free yogurt to keep it vegan.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • For a thicker consistency, add a little more chia seeds or reduce the amount of milk slightly.
  • To make it completely vegan, use plant-based milk and yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days for freshest taste and texture.
