Ingredients

Chocolate Overnight Oats

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup non-dairy milk
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut cream or non-dairy vanilla yogurt*
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup – see sugar free sub in post.

Optional Topping

Mini chocolate chips or chopped refined sugar-free chocolate – see sugar free sub in post.

Instructions

Set aside 2-3 resealable jars. Here are the resealable mini glass jars that I use–if using these, set aside 3 jars.
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.
Add optional dry topping. Seal jars.
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.

Notes

*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!

**Storing Instructions: Overnight oats can be kept for up to 5 days. However, if using homemade almondmilk or another ingredient that is highly perishable, overnight oats will stay fresh for a shorter period (such as 2-3 days).
