Equipment

  • 2 12-ounce containers

Method
 

Make the oats
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Whisk in the milk and Greek yogurt.
  3. Stir in the oats until evenly combined.
  4. Divide the mixture between two 12-ounce containers.
  5. Cover the containers.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Serve

Notes

For the thickest texture, chill the oats overnight. 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-based milk and dairy-free yogurt.
