For the Oats
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats Avoid quick or steel-cut oats
  • 1 cup Milk (any type) Almond milk or non-dairy options are great substitutes
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Essential for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Use high-quality cocoa for optimal results
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Avoid substitutes
For Sweetness and Flavor

  • 2 ounces Dark Chocolate (melted) Any good-quality chocolate works

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals until fully melted, stirring to prevent burning.
  2. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the oat mixture.
  4. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, stir well, and top with additional chocolate chips, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or cocoa powder.
