Chocolate Chia Overnight Oats...it's like brownie batter for breakfast but with lots of health benefits! I love preparing overnight oats. There are so many ways to make them and so quick and easy to prepare. I love this as a breakfast item, especially right now after having baby boy #2! Nursing a newborn and the intense hunger calls for a quick and easy breakfast that's ready to go and one of those breakfasts is these chocolate chia overnight oats.

Chocolate Chia Overnight Oats

What you need for these Chocolate Chia Overnight Oats:

  • Rolled Oats. You can use quick oats as well, both work great!
  • Chia Seeds. Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and is considered a complete protein (have all 9 of the essential amino acids).
  • Ground Flaxseed. Also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Almond Butter. A great source of protein and good fats.
  • Milk of choice. I used fat free milk but you can use any plant-based milk to make it vegan.
  • Cocoa Powder. Gives it the flavor of brownie batter!
  • Extras: vanilla, maple syrup, granola (I used my Homemade Coconut Almond Granola), bananas, nuts, berries, dried fruits. Get creative and make it like your own breakfast sundae!

I like to get one of my glass storage jars and mix the ingredients up in individual servings if I am going to be on the go OR mix it in a food storage container and take it out when I'm ready to eat!
