Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and cocoa powder, whisking thoroughly to ensure the cocoa is evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Pour the milk into the oat mixture, stirring gently to create a smooth, consistent chocolate base. Make sure all dry ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Add maple syrup to the mixture and stir until well blended, which will provide a subtle sweetness to complement the rich chocolate flavor.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips across the top of the mixture, gently folding some into the oats while leaving some on the surface for added texture and visual appeal.
- Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, ensuring a complete seal to prevent moisture loss.
- Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator and allow to rest overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, to enable the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy consistency.
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients and adjust consistency if needed with a small amount of additional milk.
- Optional: Top with extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of maple syrup, or fresh berries before serving chilled.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor
- Choose rolled oats (not quick oats) for the best texture and absorption
- Experiment with different milk types like almond, oat, or dairy for varied flavors
- Prepare multiple servings in advance for easy grab-and-go breakfasts
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of chocolate protein powder
- Let the oats sit for at least 6-8 hours for optimal creaminess
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days
- For a more indulgent version, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings
