Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 ½ tablespoons cacao powder
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk or plant-based milk of choice
- ½ cup coconut yogurt can use any yogurt plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cacao powder. Stir well to combine.
Add Wet Ingredients:
- Pour in the unsweetened soy milk (or your preferred plant-based milk), coconut yogurt (or any yogurt of choice), vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup. Mix everything together until fully combined.
Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
Serve:
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If you’d like a creamier texture, you can add a little more milk or yogurt. Top with extra coconut yogurt, chocolate chips, fruits, or any toppings of your choice.
