Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (or regular milk)

  • 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1–2 tbsp cashew butter

  • 1–2 tbsp chocolate chips

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/8 tsp salt

Optional Toppings:

  • Extra chocolate chips

  • Cacao nibs

  • Nut butter drizzle

Instructions

  1. Add all your base ingredients (oats, milk, yogurt, cashew butter, chocolate chips, brown sugar, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt) into a mason jar or container with a lid.

  2. Stir well until everything is fully combined and creamy.

  3. Seal the container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.

  4. When ready to eat, stir again. Add a splash of milk if needed to loosen the oats.

  5. Top with extra chocolate chips, a spoonful of nut butter, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs. Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl!

Notes

  • Make it nut-free: Swap cashew butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.

  • Want less sugar? Use stevia-sweetened chocolate chips and sub brown sugar for maple syrup or monk fruit.

  • No chia seeds? Ground flaxseed works as a great substitute.

  • Prep ahead: These oats stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days — perfect for batch breakfasts!
