Ingredients

Base Mixture

  • 50 g oats (quick or rolled)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-4 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 180 ml almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Serving Suggestions

  • Melted dark chocolate
  • Fresh berries
  • Coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Place oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, Medjool dates, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend mixture: Blend until completely smooth for a creamy texture, or pulse briefly if you prefer a bit of oat and date texture in your overnight oats.
  3. Refrigerate: Transfer the blended mixture into a sealable jar or container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken the mixture.
  4. Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish your overnight oats with melted dark chocolate, fresh berries, or coconut flakes as per your preference for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of dates based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use quick oats for a smoother texture or rolled oats for a chewier bite.
  • If you don't have Medjool dates, substitute with another soft dried fruit or natural sweetener.
  • Make sure to blend well if you want a smooth brownie batter-like consistency.
  • Store refrigerated and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
