They are packed with fiber, and protein, and a bowl of these overnight oats will keep you going all day long, which has been essential for these crazy work days now that we opened our food truck!

Ingredients for Chocolate Chia Overnight Oats

The base ingredients for this overnight oats variation is very similar to our classic overnight oats. Here’s what you need:

To assemble, all you really have to do is mix everything together in a bowl, let it sit for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight in the fridge.

Make them Blended Overnight Oats!

If you love a smooth and creamy overnight oats recipe, then blended overnight oats are for you.

  1. Add all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high for about a minute. This will pulverize the oats and make them super creamy.
  3. Transfer the overnight oats into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. In the morning, you can eat as-is, or add a splash of milk to thin things out a bit.

Actually, Silk does almond milk based yogurt now too. They do creamers, yogurts, all sorts.

I’m not a big fan of maple syrup. Do you think I could substitute honey?

I have a nut allergy. Can soy or coconut milk be a substitute?

Hey Pam, bummer! Are you sure you added maple syrup? I’ve made this countless times and it’s not bitter at all! Were your chia seeds or cocoa powder rancid? Next time ad a tad more maple!

I just mixed this up for tomorrow (before barre class!) and snuck a bite– and I have to say, it’s even delicious before sitting & soaking. I saw the title and thought it was just a catchy name for overnight oats that might taste chocolatey. BUT IT TASTES LIKE BROWNIE BATTER.

YES IT DOES. Funny you say that because I was between Chocolate Chia and Brownie Batter. Now I’m rethinking the name again 😛

Ahhh this makes me so happy! When I was teaching 6am yoga sculpt classes overnight oatmeal was my go-to! Glad your team loved it 🙂

YUM, I mean, chocolate, can you go wrong? Absolutely not–and with chia seeds, it will lend the perfect amount of crunch and texture!
