Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 3 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- A pinch of salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus a few for garnish)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, dark cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix in the Oats: Gently fold in the rolled oats, making sure they are completely submerged in the chocolate mixture for proper soaking.
- Add Chocolate and Berries: Incorporate the dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries into the mixture, reserving some raspberries for garnish.
- Portion into Jars: Pour the combined mixture evenly into two jars or bowls suitable for refrigeration.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jars or bowls and place them in the refrigerator to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing flavors to meld and oats to soften.
- Morning Preparation: In the morning, stir the oats gently. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with the reserved fresh raspberries and sprinkle some chocolate shavings or additional dark chocolate chunks to enhance presentation and flavor. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content or higher.
- Add a dollop of yogurt to the oats for extra creaminess and tang.
- Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts or almonds on top for a pleasant crunch and added texture.
