Make this easy, make-ahead chocolate overnight oats recipe. It tastes like decadent brownie batter but uses simple, healthy ingredients, making it a perfect quick grab and go meal for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for dairy free overnight oats)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
  3. Stir everything together thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and there are no dry clumps of oats remaining. This step is key for creamy overnight oats.
  4. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  6. Top with chocolate chips or your favorite toppings before serving this quick grab and go meal.

Notes

  • For a high protein oats version, use protein powder instead of some of the milk, adjusting liquid as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • If you want a true brownie batter oats experience, use dark cocoa powder and a little extra sweetener.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep oatmeal; prepare up to three days in advance.
