Description
Chocolate lover's overnight oats with a protein boost from greek yogurt, almond butter and chia seeds--yes, please! I keep coming back to the rich, chocolatey flavor of these (and the 5 minute prep time, winning). With 9g fiber and 16g protein, this is truly a balanced overnight oats recipe that'll actually keep your belly full and tastebuds happy!
Prep time does not include 3 hour refrigeration time.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 cup milk of choice (I like unsweetened soy milk)
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- heaping 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- Optional for topping: flaky salt, whipped cream, fresh raspberries, cacao nibs, mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Use 1 tbsp maple syrup for less sweet and 2 tbsp for full dessert vibes energy. Whisk until combined.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight, until thickened. Enjoy chilled topped with your fave toppings--I flaky salt, berries, and dark chocolate chips. Heaven!
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. I also like to serve these parfait-style for even more staying power: simply add a layer of plain greek yogurt (Fage 2% is my ride or die) followed by a serving of these oats plus berries on top.
