Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Step 2: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until everything is well combined and no cocoa powder clumps remain.
- Step 3: Add the chocolate chips (if using) and stir them into the mixture.
- Step 4: Seal the jar or container tightly with the lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- Step 5: In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Notes
- Store your brownie batter overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- If you prefer a warm breakfast, gently heat the oats in the microwave for 3060 seconds, stirring occasionally.
- Top your chilled oats with fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- For an even richer brownie flavor, try using dark cocoa powder instead of regular!
