Cocoa overnight oats with chia, mini chocolate chips and optional peanut butter. The dry mix also suits a gift jar.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats (50g)
  • 2 tsp chia seeds (6g)
  • 2 Tbsp dark or Dutch-processed cocoa powder (10g)
  • 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar (20g)
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter optional (15g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional (4g)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (45g)
  • 2/3 cup milk of your choice or water (160g)
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate syrup, additional peanut butter

Directions

  • Add the oats, chia seeds, cocoa, brown sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, and mini chocolate chips to a container with a lid.
  • Pour in the milk or water and stir well.
  • Cover and chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Before eating, stir in a little more water or milk if you like a thinner texture.
  • If you like, add whipped cream and/or chocolate syrup on top.

Notes

Fridge up to 4 days. Dry ingredients (everything but the milk) would suit a dry gift jar.
