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.

Just tried this; I found the cocoa powder too bitter for me. The maple syrup was not enough to sweeten the oats.

This recipe is absolutely amazing and like you said I think it’s the Greek yogurt that gives it that creaminess. I’ve tried many overnight oats and this is by far my favorite. I added a little bit of raspberries as well as strawberries in the morning I love that combination! Thank you !

Hi,
I was wondering if the yogurt really was necessary?

Thank you for your recipes

It’s not 100% necessary, but it does give overnight oats an amazing flavor and texture.

OMG!!! This recipe is AMAZING! It’s so chocolaty and delicious. Not to thick, but not to liquid. I was trying to find a way to eat chocolate in a healthy way and this breakfast is just perfect. Sometimes, I even take that as a snack because, in my opinion, it is as good as cookies and better than brownies. Congratulation for your beautiful blog, I’m for sure gonna try others of your overnights oats recipe. Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

Great recipe! I’m dairy free, so I ditched the yogurt. Also subbed agave for maple syrup. Next time I’ll cut down the cocoa to 1 1/2-2 Tbsp and up the sugar just a tad—without the yogurt it’s got some of that bitter chocolatey taste going on.

DF chefs: you can also find greek-style vegan yogurt at the grocery store if you want to go whole hog. 🙂

Beware the caffeine in this recipe—3 Tbsp cocoa packs a 36mg punch, something I didn’t realized before eating my oats! That’s about as much as you’ll find in a can of soda, so not a big deal for most, but can give you a bit of the jitters if you’re super caffeine-sensitive like me!

Looks yummy! Do you add the greek yogurt with the wet ingredients? Or do you only add it as a topper right before you eat it? Thank you!
