A decadent yet healthy breakfast, these brownie batter overnight oats combine cocoa powder, peanut butter, and almond milk for a treat that satisfies chocolate cravings with a nutritious twist.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir everything together until well mixed, making sure the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to let the oats soak and absorb the flavors.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir, and top with chocolate chips if desired.

Notes
- For different flavors, try substituting the peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or other nut butters.
- Sweeteners like honey, agave, or your choice of sweetener can replace the maple syrup.
- Dairy or non-dairy milk options like coconut, oat, or soy milk can be used based on preference.
- Customize with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or chopped bananas for extra flavor and crunch.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days and are even creamier after sitting overnight.
