Chocolate chips and dessert-level creamy flavor? For breakfast? Heck YES. Today, we’re making the creamiest chocolate chip overnight oats, packed with the just-right sweet creaminess to get you through the day and a whole ‘lotta chocolate chips!

To make chocolate chip overnight oats, all you need are a handful (okaaaaay, two handfuls) of simple ingredients, about 5-10 minutes, and super cute mini jars!

Wanna learn how easy it is to make the best chocolate chip overnight oats ever? Let’s make this!

What are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are a super easy breakfast idea that’s made overnight, as the name so sweetly implies. 😉 To make overnight oats, you’d whisk together a few simple ingredients, including oats and chia seeds (to name a few). Then, you’d place said overnight oatmeal mixture into jars on the fridge, overnight, then, poof!, you have a filling treat ready for breakfast the next day!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Vegan Overnight Oats

Get the Jars

Set aside two to three of these super cute mini jars.

Add all Ingredients

Add all overnight oat ingredients to a mixing bowl: rolled oats, chia seeds, non-dairy milk, coconut cream, vegan chocolate chips, vanilla and maple syrup. Stir until well-mixed.

Fill Jars

Fill jars with your overnight oat mixture.

Seal Overnight

Seal the jars and store overnight for up to 5 days. Enjoy the best vegan overnight oats the next day (or a few hours later, if you so please).

How to Store Your Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats 

Store overnight for up to 5 days. If you’re using homemade almondmilk or any kind of homemade milk, the overnight oats will only store for 2-3 days. 

How Do I Serve My Overnight Oats?

You might be wondering, “Do I eat my chocolate chip overnight oats hot or cold??” “What do I dooooo?” I’m here to tell you, “Have your overnight oats. Any. Way. You. Like!”

So, hot or cold overnight oats? It’s completely up to you.

For hot overnight oats: simply place your finished overnight oats (meaning, they’ve already thickened in the fridge overnight) in the microwave. Heat in 10-second increments until warm. Make sure to stir in between. 

Since today’s overnight oats have chocolate chips in them, this means that the heating process will melt said chocolate chips. That could be a tasty thing or a totally disastrous thing… it’s up to you, my dear. 🙂

For cold overnight oats: proceed with the chocolate chip overnight oats recipe as normal. Whisk, stir, soak overnight oats… overnight. Then, pop open a jar of overnight oats and have at it! 😉

Great Tools for the Best Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats

  • Mini Overnight Oat Jars – my #1 jars to make overnight oats in, and the very jars you see in these photos. Yes, they are even cuter in person. Yes, they’re compact, but hold so much more than they seem to. Highly recommend these!
  • Coconut Cream – my key ingredient in making super delicious overnight oats. I’ve tried every yogurt under the sun to make these overnight oats, and, simply put, nothing compares to using coconut cream instead. Creamy, rich and oh-so satisfying, coconut cream adds healthy fats, richness and flavor to your overnight oats.
  • Chia Seeds – you can’t make overnight oats without chia seeds! Okay, you can do whatever you dang well please, but you know what I mean. Chia seeds are the superfood that pump these overnight oats up with nutrients, and they lend the creamy, thick texture you love in your overnight oats. Bonus: they keep you full longer!

Description

Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats: an easy overnight oats recipe that’s creamy, rich and chockfull of vegan chocolate chips! A quick breakfast made the night before.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut cream or non-dairy vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mini chocolate chips or stevia-sweetened chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
  • 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup (optional, but highly recommended)

Optional Toppings

  • 1 teaspoon vegan mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup fresh fruit, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts or seeds
  • 1 tablespoon seed or nut butter

Instructions

  1. Set aside 2-3 resealable jars. Here are the resealable mini glass jars that I use–if using these, set aside 3 jars.
  2. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl for easier stirring. Stir until well mixed, then pour into jars when done. If using coconut cream, make sure no coconut cream clumps remain after stirring.
  3. Seal jars.
  4. Store overnight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Overnight oats will become thicker as each day passes. If desired, add non-dairy milk and mix well to thin it out. Enjoy cold, or heat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm. Add optional toppings before serving.

*I prefer using coconut cream in overnight oats—it lends a thick, creamy and delicious texture. If using non-dairy yogurt, make sure to choose your favorite kind—the flavor will be very present. Also, use vanilla yogurt for a tasty addition!
