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.

I have not made this yet but was wondering; when I clicked on the cocoa link tib took me to a Cacao product on Amazon. Clarify please which to use then? And can the amount of Chia seeds be cut down? I have diverticulitis and have a problem with eating seeds and nuts.

Hi, is it still healthy if I use 2% milk instead of the other milk? Also can I just make this in the morning or does it really need to soak overnight?
Thank you!

You can use any milk you like! And this recipe needs to soak for at least 2 hours so that the oats become chewy and edible. It’s best if you let them soak overnight!

So happy I tried this recipe, chia seeds make all the differenice!
Was out of maple syrup, so I used raw honey, I didn’t have vanilla extract and still just absolutely delightful!

I was a little skeptical because there was very little sugar being added but I absolutely loved it! I will definitely be making this over and over again. Please note I ran out of rolled oats and used quick oats, and I may have accidentally added more salt than listed, and I used soy milk instead of almond milk but it was wonderful!
