Cacao oats with coconut milk, almond and maple, chilled in a jar and topped with chopped almonds, coconut and chocolate. Dry ingredients can be packed ahead.

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats
½ tablespoon cacao powder
1 teaspoon chia seeds
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk (any milk works)
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup divided
5 almonds chopped
1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut divided
1 teaspoon cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips

Directions

Put the rolled oats, cacao powder, and chia seeds in the jar.
Pour in the coconut milk, both extracts, 2 teaspoons of the maple syrup, and half of the shredded coconut.
Stir until all the oats are coated. If they seem dry, add a little more milk.
Close the jar and chill overnight, or for at least 5 hours.
In the morning, stir, then mix in the remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup and a little more milk to loosen it.
Finish with the chopped almonds, the rest of the coconut, and the chocolate.

Notes

Refrigerate up to 3 days; add extra liquid before eating as the oats thicken. Dry ingredients can be packed ahead as meal-prep packs (good fit for a dry gift jar), then add liquid and refrigerate when ready.
