Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 oz dark chocolate finely chopped

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in the oats, chia seeds, and chopped chocolate until evenly combined.
  3. Divide the mixture between two jars or containers.
  4. Cover the jars or containers.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Notes

For the smoothest mixture, whisk the cocoa powder thoroughly into the milk before stirring in the oats. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because it can affect the texture. For a dairy-free version, use unsweetened plant milk and dairy-free dark chocolate.
