A delicious and easy-to-make Brownie Overnight Oats recipe that combines the rich flavors of cocoa and chocolate chips with creamy yogurt and chia seeds, perfect for a nutritious make-ahead breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup almond milk or dairy milk or oat milk
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, or 2 tbsp)

Optional Toppings

  • Nut butter
  • Fresh berries
  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and chia seeds to create the dry base for the overnight oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract over the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and there is no dry cocoa powder visible, ensuring an even chocolatey mixture.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips if using to distribute little bursts of chocolate throughout the oats.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  6. Serve with Toppings: Before serving, stir the oats to combine any settled ingredients, then add optional toppings such as nut butter, fresh berries, cacao nibs, or chopped nuts as desired for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use any milk or yogurt variety you prefer for dairy-free or vegan options.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, agave, or other sweeteners according to taste.
  • Overnight soaking softens the oats and chia seeds, making them easier to digest and enhancing flavor absorption.
  • Adjust chocolate chips quantity to taste or omit for a less sweet version.
  • Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
