Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup oats old-fashioned rolled
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

Equipment

  • 2 12-ounce jars or containers

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in the oats and chia seeds.
  3. Divide the mixture between two 12-ounce jars or containers.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, stir well before serving. Refrigerate for up to 4 days; these oats can be frozen for up to 2 months, though the texture may soften. Use dairy-free milk for a dairy-free version.
