Instructions

In a jar or container with a lid, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
Pour in the almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Optionally, add a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter and swirl it in.
Seal the container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if a thinner texture is desired.
Top with banana slices, chocolate chips, or any preferred toppings. Enjoy cold or microwave for 30–60 seconds to warm.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and more protein.

Add mashed banana or dates for natural sweetness.

Mix in protein powder for an extra boost.

Try different nut butters like hazelnut spread for variety.

Swap cocoa powder for cacao powder for a richer flavor.

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
