Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Pour in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture looks like thin chocolate batter, about 45 seconds.
  3. Spoon the mixture into two jars or glasses, layering in chocolate chips if you like. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Remove from the fridge, stir, and top with yogurt, berries, or a dusting of cocoa. Serve cold.

Notes

The oats need at least 4 hours to soften fully, so plan for overnight or a morning prep. If the mixture feels too thin before chilling, don't add extra oats; it thickens significantly in the fridge.
