Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 3 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus a few for garnish)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix liquids and cocoa: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, dark cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth and evenly combined.
- Add oats: Gently fold in the rolled oats, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid mixture for optimal soaking.
- Incorporate mix-ins: Stir in the dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, reserving a few raspberries and chocolate pieces for garnish later.
- Transfer to containers: Pour the mixture evenly into two jars or bowls for individual servings.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jars or bowls and let them sit in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve and garnish: In the morning, gently stir the oats; add a bit more milk if the mixture is too thick. Garnish with the reserved raspberries and some chocolate shavings before enjoying.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or higher.
- Adding a dollop of yogurt can make the oats creamier and add a subtle tang.
- Toasted hazelnuts or almonds can be sprinkled on top to add a satisfying crunch.
