Have dessert for breakfast with this simple chocolate overnight oats recipe! It takes about 5 minutes to prep with just 7 ingredients and it's the perfect healthy make-ahead breakfast option.
Add oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and salt into a bowl or mason jar. Stir well to combine. Seal the container with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.
Take the container out of the fridge the next morning and stir the mixture. You'll notice that the oats soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk before serving.
Top each with chocolate chips and nut butter, if using and enjoy!
Notes
Want to add protein? Add 1 scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder to the mixture before letting it set in the fridge. If you do add protein powder, you'll need 1/4 cup extra milk, possibly more if you use a plant-based protein powder since it soaks up more liquid.
