Make this easy, no-cook recipe for chocolate overnight oats that tastes like decadent brownie batter. It is perfect for meal prep and provides a high-protein start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein/creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Instructions

  1. Gather a jar or container with a lid suitable for holding one serving.
  2. Add the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), cocoa powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, salt, and protein powder (if using) to the container.
  3. Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully mixed in and there are no dry clumps of oats remaining.
  4. Seal the container with a lid.
  5. Place the container in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats again. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Eat cold directly from the jar.

Notes

  • For a richer, brownie batter texture, blend the mixture before refrigerating.
  • Add toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, or a drizzle of peanut butter before serving.
  • If you skip the Greek yogurt, you may need slightly less milk to achieve a thick texture.
