Healthy Chocolate Overnight Oats Recipe

These creamy chocolate overnight oats are the perfect balance of indulgence yet still healthy! After making overnight oats for years, I've found that soy milk creates the creamiest texture - and gives it a boost of protein! I also found a secret ingredient - just a touch of brewed coffee - enhances the chocolate flavors and takes these overnight oats to a new level! This recipe really shines above the rest with just a few of those additions and trust me, you'll be craving these every week once you try them!

Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 cup soy milk or another non-dairy milk of choice* see notes
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp strong brewed coffee optional but adds lots of flavor* see notes
1 tbsp maple syrup add more to taste
2 tsp chia seeds
pinch of salt
1 tbsp dark chocolate chips (reg or mini) optional - can mix in or top at the end

Topping ideas

greek yogurt
fruit strawberries, cherries, raspberries, and more
drizzle of melted chocolate
drizzle of peanut butter
nuts

Instructions

In a glass jar or container, add all your ingredients and mix well. Optional - you can save the chocolate chips for topping at the end instead of mixing in.
Cover and place in the fridge overnight.
Give it a good stir. Add toppings if you desire - enjoy!

Notes

Storage: They can last up to 3-5 days in the fridge (so making multiple batches is a good idea to have throughout the week!)

Notes:

I use regular unsweetened soy milk for this recipe. If you use a sweetened milk, you may want to decrease the amount of maple syrup - or adjust to your taste!
