Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats not instant
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon Nutella (or other chocolate hazelnut spread)
1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
1 teaspoon sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar, optional, adjust to taste)

Optional toppings

Equipment

Jar or airtight container

Method

In a jar or airtight container, combine the 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the cocoa powder is evenly distributed and there are no clumps.
1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, Pinch salt
Add the 1 tablespoon of Nutella directly into the jar with the dry ingredients. Pour in 1 cup of your preferred milk. If you desire a sweeter oat mixture, add 1 teaspoon of your chosen sweetener at this stage.
1 tablespoon Nutella (or other chocolate hazelnut spread), 1 cup milk of choice, 1 teaspoon sweetener
Stir everything together vigorously. Use a spoon or a mini whisk to ensure the Nutella is fully incorporated into the milk and the cocoa powder is dissolved. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the jar to make sure no dry pockets of oats or cocoa remain.
Secure the lid on your jar or container. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
In the morning, give your Chocolate Nutella Overnight Oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can stir in a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings.
1 cup milk of choice

Notes

Best enjoyed chilled. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep toppings separate until ready to serve.
