Ingredients
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
- Prepare the Cocoa Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, dark cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Rolled Oats: Gently fold the rolled oats into the cocoa mixture, making sure they are completely submerged for even soaking.
- Incorporate Chocolate and Berries: Stir in the dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, reserving a few raspberries for garnish to be added later.
- Transfer to Containers: Pour the oat mixture evenly into two jars or bowls, suitable for refrigeration.
- 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. If the consistency is too thick, add a bit more almond milk to loosen it. Garnish with the reserved fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or higher.
- Adding a dollop of yogurt can enhance creaminess and add protein.
- Toasted hazelnuts or almonds make a wonderful crunchy topping to add texture.
